New Link on New Guinea's Biggest Road
Photographs (by Mr. W. B. Woodman) show the new bridge (top) over the Markham River, in New Guinea, as seen from the south bank; and a view from the north bank showing the solid con struction of the piers and how they have been shielded from the turbulent currents.
The new bridge cuts out the old vehicular ferry across the mouth of the Markham (between Lae docks and Labu Point). Traffic from Lae for the Wau and Morobe goldfields area now goes directly up the Markham Valley via the Nadzab Road, and then crosses by the new bridge onto the road leading towards Mumeng and Bulolo.
