MKT Bridge #12 & #13 7-14-2010

Riders cross Bridge #12 for the Ride with Carl for Sam event this morning.

Though the bridge is open for today's event, the work on approaches for bridge #12 will necessitate re-closing of this trail section, tomorrow, to all trail users. Heavy equipment will be in operation on the trail bed itself and rock trucks will be in continuous use between the trail access point at Scott Blvd & Bridge # 12. The trail will be open after 4:30 each day at users own risk. Loose surface material and/or construction equipment will be the biggest dangers.

Site remediation will take place at the same time as approach work. After both phases of work are completed then the trail section between the parking lot at Scott Blvd and bridge #12 will be re-graded to remove ruts created by construction activities and returned to a finished surface

In the next couple of weeks the job site will be extremely busy, so please avoid area during the working hours. Just to reiterate; the trail will be open after 4:30 each day at users own risk. Loose surface material and or construction equipment will be the biggest dangers.

The parking lot located on the East side of Scott Blvd is still closed, until all construction activities have ceased.

Time till project completion is approximately three weeks, weather permitting.

On weekends trail will be open all day, each day, unless contractor is working.
