[silent] Montana Department of Highways, Information Unit footage showing blasting work in Wolf Creek Canyon for the interstate highway. The blast was designed not to throw rock in the air, but to loosen them so they could be picked up and loaded into trucks to be hauled away. After the blast, men inspect the scene, and Bud King Construction Company dozers move the rock. Circa 1962 (collection MOV 0035)
