Roads. The only damage to unpaved roads at the various sites consisted of pieces of coral and broken concrete being scattered over the roadway. The asphaltic pavement on the road at Ingebi, paralleling the lagoon and from about 1,000 to 2,300 feet out from zero received considerable damage. Approximately 35 per cent of the pavement in this area was torn loose from the base course and either blown completely away or scattered over the area between the road and lagoon. The top portion of the pavement was oxidized, but the bottom three-fourths was a resilient asphaltic mixture, Paving appears to have been stripped. DAMAGE TO PIERS Approximately 110 feet at the inshore end of the cargo and personnel pier at Runit suffered considerable damage from the blast. The damage consisted of the decking, stringers, and pile caps being lifted from the piles as a unit, inverted, and carried to the south side of the pier. The rest of the pier and the piling were unaffected, although some of the bent cross bracing was split where it was bolted to the pile caps that were carried away. 5-315
