- 2 photographs : b&w negatives ; 5.7 x 5.7 cm
- Scope and Content
- Two black-and-white negative photographs featuring the beam of the 401 bridge, which was damaged, on December 11, 1980.
- R13 S3 Sh6 B3 247a was published in the Rodney Mercury on December 11, 1980, with the caption: "Concrete reinforced beam under the Black's Lane 401 overpass was shattered when struck by a tank on a transport truck. The load hit the beam on the east side of the overpass, causing some slight damage, as well as damaging the other two beams. Six or seven inches of asphalt laid on 401 in the summer was sufficient to raise the load to where it would strike the beam, where identical loads had passed safely under previously."
