IEG PI NOTICE
No. 60.
COMMENT: The bridge shown below is the first of its type seen on photography. Its exact
nomenclature is not known, but it is probably a S.A.R.M. or M.A.R.M. type bridge.
The "box-like" objects are probably roadway sections, but exactly how they are used
in the construction of the bridge is not fully understood. The number of these
roadway sections indicates that at least six of the larger stacks and four of the
smaller are required to construct a bridge. The map below depicts locations along the
Sino/Soviet Border where tactical roAdway bridge sections have been observed.
LOCATION(S)
NOVOSIBIRSK ARMY BKS AL 7
