Work continues in 2026 on structural rehabilitation work on the Historic Rail Bridge. Last year, the giant concrete counterweight and the steel structure that held it were taken down.
The Historic Rail Bridge project has moved beyond assessment and counterweight remediation into the active restoration phase. Design reviews are complete, permits and regulatory notifications are being finalized, timber deck removal is imminent, and the project team is advancing plans for a new pedestrian and cycling corridor within the existing historic structure.
The Forks Foundation is currently raising funds to reopen the bridge. You can read more about that project here.
