Back to the bridge thread The bridge has been finished almost a year now life is so much easier just being able to drive up to the house and unload the shopping etc compared to the past when if the vehicle got trapped on the wrong side of the river it could be stuck their for up to eight weeks
Its been a pretty dry winter without any real floods this year but below is a photo before the scaffold planks came down of a small fresh

Holy Crap!! That is one serious bridge! Cannot begin to imagine wading across that with groceries like you had to do before. Awesome time lapse videos and build. Thank you for sharing!

Good stuff, a great part of the country there. The only thing missing is a small jet boat :thumbsup

holy cow... that bridge must have cost a fortune. were there other neighbors to help pay the costs?

That is an IMPRESSIVE project. I have never seen such a nice privately owned bridge. Awesome!! Thanks for sharing it.
