The anchor, made of a wooden spool to tighten to cables, is weigted down with tons of rocks following tightening of the cables. Creosote is painted to protect the wood from long-term decay. Inauguration Day was 30 June. The bridge was completely swept away in catastrophic monsoon flooding which obliterated almost all evidence of the bridge on 10 September.
