Birds Hill PP and the Bridge over Hwy #59

Recently I took a better look at the new (but not finished) bridge over Highway # 59 at the Birds Hill Provincial Park. This is looking south, towards Winnipeg.


















Here are some closer shots of the structure from below. Last I saw it there were poles going over the whole bridge from one end to the other, kind of like a long chuck wagon. It will then be screened in to keep people from falling off or what ever.





















Below are some shots of Dunning Road crossing the Winnipeg Floodway. Notice the lack of water in the floodway leaving the way to ride 'through' the waters. No connection with the new bridge made yet, but soon I suspect. The ride (bike) would be a little rough from one side to the other.




















If you look back a few posts to where I pictorial ride up to Dunning Road, you will see very similar shots but the floodway is being used by much water.
