Repairs to10 bridge

The staff spent the last two days working on repairs to 10 bridge spillway and cart path.  We decided to cut out the bottom of the galvanized pipe and pour concrete into the opened area in the pipe which would then carry the water between the two lakes.  The holes in the bottom of the pipe allowed the water to erode the gravel from around the 36" diameter pipes causing pieces of  the cart path to collapse.  The gravel will be back filled and asphalt patch will be cover the holes.  I would expect the path to be opened again by Thursday.

Rusted out galvanized pipe.



Concrete becoming the new bottom of the spillway.
 

Double the trouble, double the fun.
