After nearly 40 years of faithful service the bridge connecting Sawmill Island to the maintenance road has been replaced. JROC approved and spent $2,158.16 to replace the bridge and ensure decades of easy access for hikers, bikers, and anyone out exploring the park. The demolition and construction took place over two weekends this January and is complete. The bridge is back in full service.
