Bridge for ATV

[txdon]

It was trimmed up and hauled to the bridge.

The tree was sanded and mounted on post on the side of the rock stairs.

The wagon wheel rail was picked up with the backhoe and lowered to the bridge. There is a tree which we call the goat head tree, and it was keeping the rail from being level.

After failed attempts to move the culvert, the rail was mounted anyways and because the knob of the tree landed right in the middle of the rail end loop the level was only off by 3/4".

The rail was bolted to the base.

The other rail will have to wait till next week. This is the view from upstream. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

New week. The second rail is moved to be set in place with the BH.

The rail is set in place.

The level is checked, again, and the lower left side needs to be raised as this photo shows.

The BH is utilized again and the bridge is leveled.
The rock ends on three edges up to the base of the bridge need to be rebuilt - moved a foot out and up to the bridge base and wings. These rock footings were put in place before the metal bridge idea was formulated. The corner rocks are in the process of being dug out and re-stacked.
