Wooden Bridge Reopening and Preservation in Town of Barton

under repair and planning for reopening

The Town of Barton is working to safely reopen the old wooden bridge spanning the Eisenbahn Trail, which has been repaired after damage by an oversized vehicle. The project includes preserving the bridge using white oak and possibly ash wood, installing physical barriers to restrict heavy vehicles, and updating signage to enforce weight and width limits. The bridge is currently closed to cars but open to foot traffic, bikes, and motorcycles, with ongoing discussions on the best way to fully reopen it.
