For you "Cheeseburger" riders, Stubblefield bridge

[woodsguy]

The replacement of Stubblefield Bridge is underway. Contractors have set up a field office trailer. Slit barriers are being installed and equipment is being brought in.

Link doesn't work.

Really looking forward to this getting done. Outside of normal riding it'll cut a few minutes off my commute.

Are they getting close? I've not wandered down there for a peek since before they started.

 

[William Wolfen]

Once I get my bike back on the road, it's on my to do list to go have a look.

 

[San1k]

I may ride over sometime this week. I work like three miles from it.

We went down there on 1-28-21. The pile driver is still setup. If it is open before the end of April, I will be surprised!
I hope it is...way too long for this project to be completed.

As you can tell I'm no where near the entrance so I've no idea why a worker locked the gate while I was there today.

 

[just Curtis]

I suppose the pile driver is farther away than 3/9. Maybe someone with a UAV can send it up for pics.

The pile driver is gone so I suppose progress is being made. I wasn't able to find a news or FS update on estimated completion date today.

I see equipment but no workers. Progress is slow because they are probably busy riding.

I can't be certain but all the work today seemed centered around the track hoe so maybe the bridge is finished and only the approach(es) are left to complete.

The 5/7 pics were taken shortly before 6p on a Friday so maybe they were riding, I was.

For all you doubters, there is a bridge, now when it will be open, who knows!

Sadly we came nowhere near opening in April.

Glad they've finally built something. Hopefully it'll open soon and we can ride a proper cheeseburger loop again.

On a similar note, I was out that way a couple weekends back and FS222 was open. I'd not quite call it a road anymore as it's in fairly rough shape that would be difficult in a pickup and probably impassable in a car. Heck of a fun ride though!

It opened for deer season, ride it regularly. They may have forgot to close it, the other hunter roads are closed.

Hard to see progress
