| Bridge 703~ |
At last nights meeting, we had both very good & some news of another delay. First the good news! The second & third bridge - east, toward Darrington & past
Tin Bridge have both been decked! The non-slip grating will be installed at a later date. This makes the hearts of the many, who have worked long & hard toward the opening of this trail - so happy!
 |
| Looking so good! |
This section of the trail is NOT open yet! There is still the large hole to the east of Cloverdale, where ballast rock was removed/stolen years ago, that will need to be re-filled & other work to do first. It's certainly a huge start down the trail of many more bridges on the 27-mile length!

With the anniversary of the slide coming up soon, all of us are saddened by memories of the day that forever changed the lives of the survivors & communities affected... Already there are problems with people coming up, trying to park & walk around the area that is considered hallowed ground by so many.

The engineers involved on the project want to wait a full year - to let the soils in the area move, settle, shift & do what they are going to do, before finishing the section of the trail that goes through the slide area. Feelings have already been hurt by governmental agencies - that while trying to do the right thing - sometimes don't.

The plan is to do all the work to the trail both directions from the slide - so that everything will be completed by the late summer of 2016 - when this area too, is supposed to be finished. So far, there are no plans yet - to pave the trail - but the operative word is
yet!
