November 4th, 2010 Bridge Update from Parks and Rec: “I’m sure you’ve guessed it… Yes, the bridge has been delayed again. Apparently the original trucking company had some issues, so a new one is in the works and apparently it takes a long time to get permits to haul an oversized load.  Anyway, it is to arrive next week with installation to follow the week of the 15th. We have had some complaints that the detour we have indicated to the Garden City side is actually closed.  We will be closing the Boise Greenbelt between the Pleasanton spur and Veteran’s Park while the bridge is placed and the following three weeks to install the ramp.”

October 29th, 2010 Bridge Update: Exciting news! The delivery of the pedestrian bridge crossing the river at the end of Pleasanton is planned for November 4th and 5th.  They will set it the first half of the following week. The Greenbelt will be close beginning the 8th and will be closed downstream of the Pleasanton spur for approximately 3 weeks to install the bridge and build the new Greenbelt.  The Greenbelt will be closed on the Garden City side until the bridge is set, but will be open once the bridge is in place.
