The E.L. Patton Yukon River bridge carries both vehicle traffic and the Alaska Pipeline over this amazing waterway.
Because of the extremely harsh weather and environmental conditions in this part of Arctic Alaska, this bridge is made of wooden planks instead of asphalt or concrete, both of which are quickly defeated by the elements.
The waymark coordinates are taken a south end of the bridge, heading north.
