There is no change in the condi-
ton of the bridge at Chitina which
crosses the Copper River. Although
it has been warm around Chitina
and the ice has been running, the
cold weather around Copper Center
has prevented the ice from breaking
in that section. Usually it only re-
ouires three or four days for all the
ice to clear, but this year the condi-
tions are different. In the mean-
time no attempt has been made TO
repair the bridge as more bents will
be carried out few days later.
Freight and passengers are being
transferred across the river.
