THE CONTINUING TALE OF TWO BRIDGES
Towne Creek Bridge - With the weather now cooperating and the sinkhole having been repaired, the project is fully underway. The footings, the heavy beams, the sturdy Alaskan Cedar walkway and the railings have all been installed. This sturdy structure is 6 feet wide to accommodate emergency vehicles and will be safe and sound for all equestrians to enjoy. In addition, they have installed French drains at each end to ensure the wash out does not happen again. With just the caps to install on the railings it is anticipated the bridge will be complete in the next two weeks! Big thanks to Mike Bushue for making this project a reality and to the dozen or so volunteers that made it happen in short order and on budget. |
| | | Center Trail Bridge - We are happy to report the Town Engineer, Sean Rose, has been working diligently to keep this project moving forward. So far the Geotechnical engineer has completed the soils survey, the engineering design is being worked on and the environmental permits are in the review process. If things keep progressing, there is a chance this project could be completed by late this year but if not, then early next year. We want to once again say thank you to WHOA, the Mounted Patrol Foundation, Woodside Community Foundation, CHAPS, Woodside Trail Club and several individual donors for their generous donations to this project.
