The existing bridge needs to
be replaced because of stream erosion. The new bridge will be longer and its
supports will be wider apart. The $300,000 project consists of removing the
existing pedestrian bridge, installing a new 45-foot single-span steel frame bridge, and
stream bank restoration.

The cost is covered by storm
damage mitigation funding as a result of severe damage to the existing
bridge abutments that occurred during Tropical Storm Lee in the fall
of 2011.
Portions of the existing
trails in Green Spring Gardens will be closed during the project. Construction
access to the site will be from the main parking area at Green Spring. Residents should expect occasional construction traffic entering
the parking lot from Braddock Road. The
contractor is McGee Civil Construction LLC.
