Project Overview

Rehabilitation of State Trail Bridges along the Root River State Trail between the communities of Lanesboro and Rushford.

About the Issue

The Root River State Trail has a total of 24 bridges between Lanesboro and Rushford, all former railroad structures that have been converted to recreational trail use. This project consists of the rehabilitation of Bridge RR#24 which carries the Root River State Trail over an unnamed drainage. The rehabilitation of this structure is to be completed in two phases: (1) the structural rehabilitation of the masonry abutments and repair of the bridge seats; (2) the replacement of the trail surface/deck and safety railings. The structural rehabilitation of Bridge RR#24 is to be completed by 15 December 2011. The rehabilitation/replacement of the trail surface/bridge deck and safety railing on the bridge will be completed in association with the scheduled resurfacing of this trail segment in 2012.
