123-ft. Deep pneumatic pier supports deck trusses of Colorado River Bridge
Main piers of railroad bridge at Topock, Ariz, are composed of two 24-ft concrete cylinders tied together for upper 10 ft, with 4-ft concrete apron walls, extending 5 ft above and 5 ft below water surface; superstructure consists of three 350-ft deck truss spans over channel, 50-ft beam span and 100-ft deck girder span on east end and three 100-ft deck girder spans on west side.
