Renshaw bridge repair

Be a real shame if something doesn’t get done. Pretty nice cabin just to sit there and rot.

It will get done. It's just not an overnight fix when dealing with Government.

There is a lot of truth in your statement, that is for sure.

You guys are not paying attention to what should happen. Forget what you know and look at what has been done. I'll lay money in a few years we will be accessing the Renshaw from a totally new road and trail. One groomer two areas one parking lot maybe two.

Any photos of the bridge removal ? Was supposed to happen on the 9th right?

The way I see it is unless they have the groomer or can get the groomer to the uphill side of the river. The trail in will suck again this winter.
Which is unfortunate for the town and people who live there once again this winter. Unless Tommie creek area pans out.
Again the club is out all the money for the cabin and the upkeep.

bridge spans look good but those abutments are hammered. Hopefully they are rebuilt this spring and the bridge goes back in with new mods on top.

I am also seeing those large steel spans and abutments. Don’t see the problem where it would not support a snow cat and drag two times. Once in the first part of the season and again at the end of the season.
Pretty sure most folks could handle the first 3 km of trail being un groomed, compared to the remaining 27-29 km’s of trail.
I do not believe they will work on it during the winter months.

To me that center span does not look very good and undermined.

Oh well, guess we will see if this is a end to a era or not in the future.
