Update
The funding is in place for this project.
I have submitted the application to ASRD for the Temporary Field Access Permit for the project and should have a hard copy of the TFA next week. We have some prefabrication and logistic work too accomplish before the install date but should be in good shape for the major build and install on the 26th and 27th. I plan on camping in the Ghost FLUZ on that weekend. It looks like a go on the scheduled date.
On the 26th we will need to split the volenters up in to a few groups with different tasks.
First, small group to assist with the bridge abutments. It is important to limit this group in size when the heavy equipment will operating of the safety of the volunteers.
Second, A group with trucks and OHV trailers will need to move the decking material to the site on the trails from its storage location.
Third, a group will need to assemble the steel bridge components at a safe distance from were the abutments are being built.
If the day goes well we hope to have the steel structure siting on the bridge abutments at the end of the day.
On the 27th
This day we hope to complete the installation of the steel structure on the abutments and build the deck on the bridge, remove the old damaged bridge from the creek , complete some fencing work to divert traffic onto the new bridge and regrade a hillside were we will be getting material for the abutments. The project goals also include some bio enginering work too stabilize and rebuild sections of the creek bank. Some of the Bio enginering project and what items we don't get finished will get planed for the second project weekend in August.
The more volunteers we get for this type of project the more fun they are. I plan on camping in the area that weekend so please plan on bondfires and good food in the evening if you decide to come out and camp as well.
More details to come in the next few weeks as we get closer.
Thanks,
Blair
