Utah Beach
Soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division wade ashore at Victor sector, Utah Beach, on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Amphibious tanks are lined up at the water's edge.
There were four causeways that connected Utah Beach to inland roads. These routes were critical for the movement of troops and vehicles, as the low-lying areas immediately behind the beach were flooded, which restricted land traffic to these established paths.1
