#17 Bridge Repairs

Last week our staff was busy trying to re-deck the bridge crossing the creek on hole #17.  The wood that spanned across the bridge was rotting badly and it was starting to be a safety concern for the people who drive across it daily.  We started by removing all the railing and boards which were used as the decking for the bridge:

 What was left after everything was removed were the main support beams as you see in the pictures below:

Since the main support beams were still in good shape, we started to re-surface the decking by anchoring into the existing beams.

By Friday afternoon we were able to replace all the decking boards, and we will work on finishing the new railing by the start of next week.  So far so good!
