New Bridge Opens!

After 19 months in the making, the new entrance bridge to Mission Springs is now open and ready for use!

removing the last barrier

At 4:30pm on December 16, 2008, Mission Springs received the long awaited call that informed us that the new entrance bridge was complete and officially open for traffic.

All that was left to do was to remove the last barriers.

The steel and concrete structure was built with a load rating of 36 tons (72,000 lbs), which is another way of saying 18 vehicles- each with an average curb weight of 4,000 lbs. could park on the bridge at the same time for 30 days.

As Mission Springs prepares to build a new entrance bridge at a new location, eleven large redwood trees needed to be removed to make way for the bridge.  Rather than discard the trees, Mission Springs had the wood milled into 6,000 board feet of beautiful redwood lumber that will be used for various projects around Mission Springs.  One such application was the new hitching posts placed around the new playing field at Frontier Ranch where kids and counselors can hangout.
