When the Tare camp wasestablished at Bikini and construction of the Peter-Oboe Airstrip authorized in October 1952, land access between the five islands of the Tare group became necessary for economical construction operations. The causeway between Peter and Oboe at the east end of the chain became part of the airstrip runway. (See discussion under Contract Item A-25, Section 4.)

(See discussion following on Contract Item A-26). All access causeways were used for construction of the seven major Scien- Causeway locations and approved borrow areas are shown on Figure 2-208. ENGINEERING. The Field Engineering Division processed the necessary work orders and, in addition, conducted hydrographic and location surveys, inspection and test control on con- struction. Specifications on the airstrip cause- way fill and a layout drawing were prepared by the Home Office. well as for the P. O. L. farm on site Sugar, which served the entire Bikini Atoll.
