During the 2015 season it became apparent that one of the main support beams on the bridge was deteriorating. Extra support was added to compensate for the remainder of the season. We had an engineer assess the bridge and spec out the needed repairs. As you can see form the picture below the beam was in need of replacement. In late winter we had a contractor in to dissemble the required section and do all the necessary repairs to insure the safety of all that travel across the bridge.

Only the one section had to be replaced at this time. The engineer will be putting together a report explaining what has been done and any recommendations going forward to insuring its the bridges longevity.
