#1 Bridge Repair

This past Monday we began to repair years of errosion damage around some of our bridge abbutments. In all we have five bridge sides to repair and we started with the west side of number one. This was quite the process. We first needed to remove the cart path leading up to the bridge so we could add errosion control matting and back filling the void that was left from errosion. After we filled it in we then put gravel and screenings to make a temporary cart path which we plan to come back in the fall and pour concrete. The last step was to fill in the void that was left under the bridges with dirt and then added errosion control matting with rock that we recycled from our cart path repair project. We now have four sides left and we hope to have them all done by next week.
