USED AT REMAGEN
TEMPORARY WATERLOO BRIPGE Rec. 9 a.m. LONDON, May 20. The temporary steel-girder Waterloo Bridge which London traffic used for 17 years while the new Waterloo Bridge was being built now spans the Rhine at Remagen. The "Sunday Express" reveals that as soon as Antwerp was captured the bridge, which weighs 3000 tons, was shipped across the Channel to forestall expected enemy attempts to destroy all the existing Rhine bridges. When the Remagen bridge, which was the Allies' first pathway across the Rhine, collapsed, great sections were dismantled. The Waterloo Bridge lay ready on the bank of the Rhinejo it.
