The Major Robert A. Gouldrin Bridge was an emergency railroad bridge across the Rhine at Wesel opened 9 April 1945 to replace the old Wesel Railway Bridge. It was constructed in ten days under Col. James B. Cress by an organization of the 1056th Port Construction and Repair Group; elements of the 341st, 355th, and 1317th Engineer General Service Regiments; and an engineer construction battalion, a dump truck company, an engineer maintenance company, and a welding detachment.[1,2] The bridge was named after the officer of the 355th Engineer General Service Regiment, who lost his life during the construction.[2] (Sources [1];[2])
