McCloud Nature Center Bridge
Always makes me feel good when trusses get refurbished. Even if they are left as foot bridges, it is far better than selling them for scrap in favor of their UCEB replacement.
McCloud Nature Center Bridge
Cool bridge Tony, as I mentioned on my email to you. I will head down 75 and go see the bridge. I was under the impression that the new trail expansion was already open. Must not be if they are still reassembling the bridge.
Will keep you informed.

Was the relocation of the bridge to the park a "No Adverse Effect" to the historic resource? What does the State Historic Preservation Office think of the project? Did the project receive any Federal (or FHWA) funding?
