One Mile, about 1976 [excerpt]

The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation was responsible for the building and maintenance of Texas roads and highways and for developing public mass transportation in Texas. The agency's Travel and Information Division produced film footage of methods of bridge construction in Texas.

This excerpt is the introduction to One Mile, a film that documents the building of the Houston Ship Channel Bridge to improve transportation. In this excerpt, watch "awesome machinery and inspired technology combine to dazzle the viewer as the massive structure takes shape."
