Nebraskan Engineer Leads San Francisco Oakland Bridge Project
STATE NEWS Co. H. Purcell, engineer of the world’s largest bridge under construction between San Francisco and Oakland, is a Nebraskan. He is California’s state highway engineer and earned a master’s in engineering from the University of Nebraska in 1906. Born in North Bend, Purcell’s roots tie Nebraska to the ambitious crossbay span. Clayton Watkins, state forester, noted Nebraska trees endure heat and drought well but full damage won’t be known until next spring. If they receive ample water this fall they should weather winter fairly, though a cold winter after dry seasons could cause winter kill.
