I just spoke with an engineering tech with the Forest Service but he was in a windy location and I couldn't understand all he said. Apparently after the bridge contract was let, Trans Dept. changed the recipe for asphalt roads to something more environmentally friendly and very few contractors are approved (or capable?) to lay it at this time. He said they hoped to open the bridge this July but realistically thinks it will be sometime in August.

As have I. I rethought it a long time ago and stick with a jacket 99% of the time. Only occasionally do I skip it for a local run to the store with just helmet and gloves.
I'm leading a group of Jeeps on the loop, the 25th anyone ridden it recently?

never slow down...you never grow old
Well at least his ink survived unscathed. Curious what that EKG looking ink signifies.
Just run one of the many cheeseburger loop routes out there and adjust for the bridge not being open yet.

Real progress now!
Did you test it out? Looks passable to me.

Don't think they'll ever finish.
Kinda like how they'd never start?

It's a good looking replacement. What a long time inconvenience for those that live there.

Well, only good thing the bridge is built, just waiting on the road to it, however long this takes.
Unless there's a big gap between the earth and the top of the bridge, I don't really need a road...

I'm SURE we could. And just as sure we could get in real hot water.
Yep. More government stupidity. Gotta love it!

How much concrete are they planning on laying down? I hope they're not planning on turning the place into a concrete jungle.

Construction on the Stubblefield Lake Bridge replacement on Stubblefield Lake Road in the National Forest and Grasslands in Texas, Sam Houston National Forest is almost completed. The bridge approaches are being paved, and the final punch list items are being completed.
Construction on the new bridge began in October 2020 and includes pedestrian walkways on both sides and a boat ramp.
The construction area remains marked with signs, and locations around the construction site are still closed for safety. This includes areas near the bridge, bridge road approaches, and boat ramp.
The bridge was damaged in 2017 by floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey.
