SAUVIE BRIDGE HEADS FOR SCRAP HEAP<br />

On Friday August 8, with the tugs Jim Moore, right, and PJ Brix, left, <strong>Foss</strong> moved the 120-foot center section of the old Sauvie Island<br />

Bridge up the Multnomah Channel toward Portland, where it was cut up and sold for scrap. <strong>Foss</strong>’ customer on the job was Dix<br />

Corporation of Spokane, which is the transportation subcontractor on the bridge project. Dix used jacks to lower the bridge section<br />

onto the barge. On the PJ Brix were Capts. Guenter Eckardt and Doug Cody, with deckhands Ken Aman and James Green. On the<br />

Jim Moore were Capt. Don Butcher and Deckhand John Munson. <strong>Foss</strong> used the Earl H as a safety boat, with Capt. Brad Warner and<br />

Deckhand Clyde Montgomery. Regional Operations Manager Mike Walker and Port Captain Toby Jacobsen coordinated the<br />

operation.<br />
