Having read a letter from the contractor(s) regarding start/finish dates for Stages 1 and 2 of replacing the bridge at Big Creek it looks like they are serious this time. Stage 1 will commence in April 2021 and be completed November 2021 whereas Stage 2 will start November 2021 and be completed June 2022.
Stage 1 involves the realignment of the Causeway on the west side and a New(single lane) Bridge to be built while keeping both traffic lanes open on Old Bridge until November 2021 at which point Stage 2 kicks in and the Old Bridge will be removed and the other half of the New Bridge will be completed. This means the New single lane will use traffic control lights until the second half of bridge is completed. It also mentions that people visiting the Wildlife Refuge should not park on the Causeway.
This is going to mess up this Falls hunt for those that shoot up Big Creek or it's mouth or B Zone but at least ... finally... the bridge will be replaced. There was no mention of any other Causeway work to be done as the letter was from those only involved in the Bridge Project.
