Bridge Jams
(Continued From Page 1-A)
supervisor for Brunswick and New
Hanover counties said that the swing
sections had dropped before Bland
could manipulate the pull-in cable to
align thein properly. A strong tide
had pushed the floating section
eastward, he saiu.
Shortly after arriving on the scene,
Co* and other crew members used a
railroad jack stored 011 a nearby
maintenance barge to inch free the
pontoon section of the bridge. Prying
with the jack relieved pressure
where the edges were jammed,
allowing Bland room to work the pontoon
portion back into position, said
Co*.
Earlier Bland, Brunswick County
Emergency Management Coordinator
Cecil l,ogan and other
volunteers such as Potter had tried
prying the jam loose with a 30-pound
sledge hammer.
In another attempt, Tom Tucker
drove his four-wheel drive vehicle
against wedges placed against the
pontoon section. It didn't budge.
Workers had predicted the bridge
would free itself at liigh tide, but Cox
said he doubted it.
"I don't think so, not the way it was
Jammed," he said.
Opponents of a high-rise bridge

The taxpayers' association has
taken a stand against increased density
in the town and in favor of a
faintly-oriented, single-family
residency.
"I think it's a shame," he said of
attempts to change the beach. "We
think it's important to keep some of
the nice things as long as we can."
Said Knapp of Saturday's Jamming
at check-in and check-out time, "It
couldn't come at u more unfortunate
time?or a more fortunate time for
the developers."
Vacationers were encouraged
Saturday to walk across the bridge
between repair attempts and register
ut realty offices, then cross back
over.
