Ossagon Trail Bridge Replacement

Ossagon Trail Bridge Replacement

Replace the temporary pipe bridge with a prefabricated, permanent 38' truss bridge across Ossagon Creek at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The permanent bridge will be constructed on the original footprint; will not require any excavations beyond the original footings; and will be built following DPR-approved plans from the District Trails Guide. All bridge materials will be constructed and fitted offsite, limiting onsite installation to assembly and minor hand sawing of rails to minimize noise levels. Silt fencing and a tarp placed under the bridge will prevent sediment and debris from entering the stream channel; during periods of heavy rains, exposed soil will be covered to prevent erosion. All work will occur outside the marbled murrelet and northern spotted owl breeding seasons. This project protects public safety, reduces erosion and sedimentation, and supports continued use and maintenance.
