This photograph, titled "Puerto Rico Roads, Bridges, and Road Construction, 1912," by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the early 20th-century infrastructure development in Puerto Rico. The image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Road #9, connecting Bayamon and Comerio, with the "Conventa" Bridge in the background. The photograph captures the essence of a transformative era, as the United States, having taken control of Puerto Rico in 1898, was investing in the island's infrastructure to facilitate economic growth and modernization. The image reveals the intricate process of road construction, with workers and horses laboring to lay down gravel and build the foundation for the new roads. The bridge, a vital component of the transportation network, is undergoing repairs, with workers rebuilding its wooden structure. The photograph is a testament to the determination and ingenuity of the people involved in the infrastructure project. The image also highlights the natural beauty of Puerto Rico, with lush greenery and clear skies in the background. This photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze for Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, is an essential piece of history that documents the United States' role in shaping Puerto Rico's infrastructure and the progress of the island during the 1910s. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on American history, Puerto Rican history, or infrastructure development. It is a reminder of the significant impact of infrastructure projects on communities and the transformative power of progress. This image is a captivating piece of history that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a unique perspective into the past.
