Faculty, staff and students from the College's Industrial Forest
Operations group performed all of the necessary steps of the stream
crossing location, including reconnaissance, crossing width determination,
approach layout, installation and, in some cases, construction. The
construction of the low water concrete bridge was contracted. The
two-span wooden stringer bridge and the stress-laminated bridge using
two-inch material were built in the Forest Harvesting Lab workshop
and installed on site.
The two larger stress-laminated bridges were donated by Hopewell
Hardwood Sales of Hopewell, VA, and Forestry and Wildlife Consulting
Services of Gretna, VA. They were lifted into place using a large
excavator.
