Deskripsyon

Neuse River Greenway bridge over Bridges Lake, just north of the Milburnie Park access point.

I've previously reported (back in April) that this bridge is vastly substandard compared to every other bridge along the Neuse River Greenway (or the Walnut Creek and Crabtree Creek greenways, for that matter). The wood is warped and irregular and broken in some places, making walking or riding on it a very unpleasant (and somewhat unsafe) experience. It's as as if the contractor used wood from an old barn.

A city of Raleigh staffer responded that the decking on this bridge was scheduled for replacement this year, but to date there's been no work done. It's already mid-October (and I doubt this is going to be done in December!), so is there a status update on the planned work?
