 Almost the full team this week with Vin, Jeremy, Mike, David, Pat, John W and John B to tackle the long span bridge on HCC 19 east of Chipping Camden.

Work was somewhat complicated by the harvesting of sugar beets in the field and some fairly heavy duty tractors crossing the main concrete farm bridge.

The old bridge was removed following some fleet footed work by John B and then David taking out every other cross board and avoiding the drop to the stream then the main beams were removed to clear the area.

The team was joined by Rob (CNL) who brought the new bridge hardware on a trailer and enough heavy tools to make the job viable.  Rob was also clear on the construction process (although that didn't stop people debating if there were other ways to do it!)
