Project Constraints and Challenges
Some of the many potential challenges that face this project include possibly changing the location of the bridge crossing, realigning the trail, and the transportation of the donated BNSF railway bridge from its current location in Joseph City to the project site. Also determining the exact point at which the bridge BSNF is deemed unusable will have to be under significant evaluation.
Succeeding with this project will entail many project site visits to determine existing conditions of the channel and conditions of the BNSF bridge. This project’s main scope is to replace the current walkway with one with a much better fit to the channel, raised to accommodate to the 100-year flood plain, while keeping the costs low.
