Cedar Bridges

Some new bridges will be installed on the golf course! The bridges will be custom built for us by Cedar Bridges in Illinois, shipped by truck, and installed with a crane. The company will send us progress photos throughout the building process. It takes about 2 weeks per bridge and we will post the progress photos here for you to check them out. 
The plan is to replace all 3 cart bridges on holes 10, 11, and 13 first and eventually the 4 walking bridges as well.  Everyone should know that the bridge being closed on 13 was not because the Willow Tree fell on it.  We had it inspected by an engineer to check for damage because of the tree and he condemned it due to the rotting of the bridge from all the weathering.  Following this we checked out the other two bridges and found them to look identical as to the one on 13. 
Prior to the installation of the bridges, we will have to remove the current bridges and pour a new form on #11.  I am not sure how long, but there will be at least a week without bridges on holes 10, 11, and 13.   Therefore, please check in with the golf shop because the back nine will possibly be closed.

The photos here are of bridges that were done for another site and were provided for an example to show you. We will keep you posted on this aspect of the work on the golf course.
