Last week a pedestrian
bridge was delivered to a parking area off Old Dalton Road in Hinsdale.
Nine volunteers helped move the bridge parts to the site of the bridge
construction on the East Branch of the Housatonic River.
On Saturday, April 10,
14 volunteers bolted the pieces together under the leadership of Peter
Jensen and Associates. A zip line helped in getting the pedestrian bridge
across the East Branch that is part of the Old Mill Trail, a greenway
extending 1.5 miles to Dalton.
This pedestrian bridge
has been in the planning stage for eight years. It is funded by the
Natural Resource Damages Trustees.
Peter Jensen and
Associates will continue building the trail which is expected to be
completed early this summer.
A trail opening
ceremony will take place in June.
