The bridge collapsed November 28, 2003 prior to the start of the ski season following heavy snow and rains.  The bridge itself did not delay the opening, but the loss of phone lines and sewer caused by the damage did delay opening the area.

Demo of old bridge is completed. Nothing but dirt and rocks left except for a little concrete from the old footings.

Hole dug for new footings.

More digging....

Getting ready for concrete.

Concrete has arrived!

The bottom part of the footings is completed.  Photo's done by Tomk!
 

Concrete work complete on both ends.

The lumber has arrived.

Beams being laid out.

Looks as though the bridge will be assembled in the parking lot.

I found out the bridge will be assembled in 3 sections.  One section on each end and the middle section after the ends are in place.  If you look closely you can see the other end being assembled across the way.

The other end looks to be close to being completed and waits installation.  I hope to be able to catch the crane in action when it hauls these sections into place.

Crane is moving bridge sections into place.

They are still working on the framing for the center section but all crane work has been completed.

New photo next week.

New roof is going on.

Looks like the plywood on the roof is about half completed.

The plywood is completed on the roof and workers are still hurrying to try and get it completed before opening.

The bridge is pretty much complete except for the roof.  Roofing material sits in the snow waiting for install.  

Unless something unexpected is added, this should be my last installment of the Alpental bridge.
