Update to Bridge Work

Bernhard Bridge Repairs
After reviewing the bridge’s concrete pier test results, we have decided to immediately move forward with repairs. Since we do not have all permitting completed at this time, we have notified the County that we consider this work to be an emergency from a timing standpoint. Therefore, we have hired a contractor to commence work on the bridge. They will work on the bridge for up to three weeks, starting October 14, 2019. There will be unavoidable delays in crossings and closures of the bridge. For those wanting to get to Division II or III, please use the back (west) gate if you do not want to wait. The gate can be unlocked with the weekend gate/dumpster key all week long and until further notice. We will post updates as the job progresses and thank you in advance for your patience and support.

Other Details You Need To Know
• Until further notice, the area between the Division I side of Bernhard bridge and No Name creek in Division II is designated a work zone. Limitation are as follows:
o access through this area is limited to immediate ingress/egress only
o maximum 10,000 pound single axle vehicles
o trucks less than 3500 weight-carrying capacity designation
o ABSOLUTELY NO TRAILERS and NO PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
o speed limit of 5 mph
This is for the safety of employees, contractor workers and membership at large. As all of the work is being performed under the bridge, the area under the bride must remain a designated work zone AT ALL TIMES until the project is complete.
• We will have to close the bridge to all traffic at some point for 4 consecutive days. This is a requirement for the concrete to set. The closure timing is fully dependent upon the weather conditions and availability of concrete delivery. The contractor is aware of the importance of access to Divisions II and III and will give us as much notice as possible.
• We will post as soon as possible to Facebook, our website and via mailchimp upon confirmation of the closure.
