Project 5: Install rebuilt Doe Bridge

This bridge is another piece from our original railroad. This bridge was restored a few years ago and now it is time to get it installed. The current plan is to remove the bridge closest to the west loop (currently called the LaVay Bridge) and widen the span and place the Doe bridge in its place. We will then rebuild the "LaVay Bridge” and place it in a location to be determined. The hope is this bridge swap will be completed prior to this track becoming the mainline for trains traveling east to west on the inner loop.

If you would like to work on this project click on the “I want to volunteer” button and let us know. An official workday schedule has not be determined at this time.

Some prep work needs to be done before the rebuild can be started which includes:

  1. Cutting deck boards making sure they are all the same height.

  2. Purchasing appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts

Once all of the prep work is complete this project can take place at any time. If you would like to coordinate a workday during the week or on a weekend, please click the “I want to volunteer” button and let us know.
