Betts Bridge has spanned Salmon Creek
since 1935. Its replacement opened in February 2007. |
The old bridge was removed this past summer. Cranes lifted the bridge out to protect Salmon Creek from debris. |
 |
 |
| A plastic liner held Salmon Creek during the summer while the cotractor built new bridge footings on the stream bank |
By October 2006 the bridge footings were in place and installation of girder began, reconnecting the stream banks. |
 |
 |
| By November, the contractor had poured concrete to form the bridge deck and side barriers. |
In January the bridge road approaches and other related road improvements were beginning to take shape. |
 |
|
| The new Betts Bridge opened officially on Friday, February 16. There is still some finishing work to complete. |
