Siloam Bridge Dedication Connects Yadkin and Surry
A temporary wood and steel truss bridge linking Yadkin and Surry counties at Siloam was dedicated by Jake Alexander and Col. Newman A. Howard. Built by the 548th engineering battalion, the span will serve until a permanent bridge is built after the old suspension bridge collapsed Feb. 23 killing four and injuring 16. More than 2,000 watched as a horse and buggy crossed first, followed by three men on horseback.
