Check current township information for bridge and park access before visiting, particularly when improvement work is announced. The photograph shows the bridge and its surroundings during an earlier visit rather than the newly developed park layout. Use authorized pedestrian approaches and respect any temporary barriers. A look at the bridge is distinct from entering neighboring private property or taking part in a reserved park event.
