Rock Quarry for Road Repairs
Near the town of Filigare, Italy, on Highway 65, the 19th Engineers of the 5th Army have constructed a rock quarry. Due to heavy rains it became necessary to rebuild as well as repair roads to expedite military traffic. Rock is first blasted loose and then pushed down into the quarry by bulldozer in upper left, and reduced to size with pneumatic trip hammer and sledge hammers, for use as foundations for road as well as repairs
