Big Spring Trail and Bridge Repair-Replacement

Ozark National Scenic Riverways » Big Spring Trail and Bridge Repair-Replacement » Document List

Building a new, more accessible, 45 foot free span trail bridge 55 feet further up the wash than its previous location. Trail bridge was washed out during 2011 flooding. Rerouting a section of trail improving the accessibility on both sides of the bridge 75 feet on the upstream side and 85 feet on the downstream side, rehabbing approximately 105 - 130 feet of the abandoned trail and doing some localized bank stabilization work where the original bridge was located. We also plan to remove as much concrete as possible that was deposited by the recent flooding without destabilizing the area. Concrete removal shall be limited to removing the larger concrete pieces that now obstruct the waterway and are unsightly. Effort shall be made to remove concrete without destabilizing the area and creating future erosion problems.
