Clearing the Way

Bulldozers cleared trees and dirt from a 60 to 90-foot swath for the Alaskan Highway.  More

To clear a path for the road, a lead bulldozer, flanked by two others, tore into the dirt and knocked down trees to create a 60 to 90-foot swath. Behind these front units, the bulk of the regiment widened, straightened, and graded the road, and using the timber at hand, built culverts and bridges.
