Preserving the walking bridge: City of Bethany employees replace planks on the deck of the pedestrian bridge over Big Creek. The bridge had been closed in recent years because of the deteriorating condition of the floor. Pictured here are John Findley, Robert Russell, Charley Bennett and Bryan Jennings.
The foot bridge, which was established after the old 10th Street bridge was removed, serves the West Bethany Park. The City Council had considered tearing down the walking bridge altogether but decided to restore the structure after public sentiment favored saving the crossing. After the street department finishes the restoration, the city Park and Recreation Department will be responsible for the future maintenance of the bridge.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-plus-circle” color=”juicy_pink” background_style=”boxed-outline” background_color=”white” size=”lg” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fbethanyclipper.com%2Fsubscriptions%2F|title:Sign%20up%20for%20our%20digital%20subscription|target:%20_blank|” css=”.vc_custom_1510933277067{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;border-radius: 2px !important;}”][vc_wp_text]Click the button to subscribe to the digital edition.[/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_wp_text][vgpc id=”14984″][/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_facebook css_animation=”bounceIn” el_id=”https://www.facebook.com/republicanclipper” css=”.vc_custom_1502307671695{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][vc_tweetmeme type=”follow” follow_user=”bethanyclipper” show_followers_count=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1502307611134{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][vc_googleplus type=”small” css_animation=”bounceIn” el_id=”https://plus.google.com/u/0/” css=”.vc_custom_1502307536798{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][vc_pinterest el_id=”https://www.pinterest.com/bethanyrepublic/pins/” css=”.vc_custom_1502307747259{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_wp_text]
