Built by "B" Company
The following Pictures are of the final bridges built by the 150th Combat Engineers. They are fixed bridges, unlike most of the bridges they built which were Bailey, Treadway or Ponton bridges. They were named the Major Edmund C. Knight bridge, and the Sgt. James P. Cassidy bridge, in remembrance of an officer, and an enlisted man who had paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. These Bridges were over the Danobe River in Straubing, Germany.

| This picture is blown up from the above right picture. There are 3 people with bikes crossing. 2 in the street and 1 walking in the pedestrian part of the bridge. This was a very common method of transportation after the war, as they had no gasoline when the war had ended. | |
