The new trail to B Pond via the Gauntlet Falls trail required us to build a new bridge over Cedar Brook. We bought a used semi trailer to use as the “foundation” of the new bridge.

Bion Tolman hauling the concrete blocks into the bridge site. $100/block was the cost to buy them.

Removing the axle and tires being once we got the trailer to the site. It was originally a tri-axle that we bought for $1700 at an auction….much cheaper than buying steel beams for a bridge and easier to deck.
Installed and ready to deck it over with pressure treated materials
