Bridge 30 replacement
November 20, 21 & 22 2026
On Friday a small team will demolish the existing bridge and receive new materials. We will begin by removing the side rails and the bridge deck. Then we will drop the joists, cut them into smaller pieces and move them out of the work area. With that done we can begin to build the new bridge.
Meet at 8:30 AM Saturday and Sunday at the Community Center car park to pick up tools, review the work flow and safe practices before heading out to the bridge site
Bridge 30 is down the hill from trailhead C, next door to 5522 Morris Hunt.
On Saturday we will transport materials from the drop area and remove the demolished lumber. At the same time we will begin erection of the new bridge from bottom up.
We should complete the bridge in on Saturday day. If not we will continue on Sunday.
Select the day(s) and times you want to work, anything from 2 to 8 hours is helpful. Friday we need a small crew,4-6 people, Saturday and Sunday we can use more folks
We will provide water and take hydration breaks. A lunch will be provided each day.
Please bring your own gloves if you have them, we do have some you can borrow. Wear work boots and dress appropriately. Insect repellent is a good idea.
Bridge building is fun and satisfying!
Rain or shine, we don't work with thunder.
