Bogert’s Bridge Update 🚧
Construction crews are correcting the bridge sag by carefully jacking the structure back into place. Jacking is done slowly, about .5 to 1 inch at a time to avoid any stress or damage. After reaching the correct height, the bridge will be secured with metal beams.
We can't wait for the rehabilitation of Bogert's Bridge to be completed later this year!
