In April 1950, under Oscar Harvey's supervision, a group of engineers embarked on the construction of a large bridge in an isolated mountain region. Many said it was impossible. However, by July, the ten-mile bridge was functional. By early September, cars could traverse the river. Harvey and his team had triumphed where others had failed: they had made the remote villages on the river’s far side more accessible.
[1] Since he had his engineers focus primarily on the bridge, Harvey was equally interested in preserving the river's ecosystem. His team monitored the area against unauthorized fishing, littering, and industrial waste dumping. [2] _______, given that vehicular pollution and debris had damaged some of the river's marine life, Harvey had his engineers install barriers along the most affected parts of the river to minimize further harm.
