Storm Damage - December 2010

2010 Pictures

The last snow melting in the spring.

One of the beavers in the pond at Scotian Gold.

The beavers were busy near Sharpe Brook Bridge.

We installed interpretive signs at each of the three rest areas.

A typical sight on the greenway during the summer.

The greenway is a safe place for young people to ride their bikes.

Some trail users have four legs.

The bridge was unsafe and had been closed by DNR when CRPS started work on trail development.

The abutments of the old bridge - a scary sight!

Clearing away the old structure.

Excavating the hole for the new culvert.

The sections of steel culvert were assembled in Foodland's parking lot.

It was noisy work tightening the bolts with an impact wrench.

Lowering the completed structure into place.

Backfilling around the culvert.

Almost finished.

Removing the old structure was challenging.

The remains of the old bridge are hauled away.

The trail was surfaced with a layer of crushed shale.
