This was a wonderful community project spanning from 22 April (2009) until Memorial day to build. It was done mainly with students from two local charter schools and with some retired guys that were intrigued by the project.  The building material supplier was also on hand to help.

Reinhar has drawings available for those that would like a start on their own project, or would just like some insights.  The bridge cost $15,000 to build including abutment modifications.  The surrounding landscaping was another $6,000.

It was paid for with a DNR grant and monies from local community groups such as Rotary, Lions and Kiwannis.
