New bridge on 109 towards Medway
Although we received minimal snow this past week we were very busy doing trail work. On Tuesday we loaded up one of the drags with two 25′ bridge beams, a load of PT crossbeams and nine sheets of Advantech to build a bridge on the 109 going south.
It’s at a location where we have built a snow bridge during the last two seasons but with hardly any snow this year it was time to build a real bridge. Dave, Phil and Rick built it in one day! The Advantech lasts about 8 to 10 years in an environment where drying can occur.
New regulations require that nothing falls thru the bridge and into the water.
We make sure all of our bridges are covered with snow just as flat as our trails. Bridge decks with open areas in the middle get covered with fabric before it snows. Those bridges you see with big holes in the middle are a accident waiting to happen!
