New bridge at Highland


The DNR and MCMBA joined forces this last weekend on a project to replace an old bridge on the Highland Recreation Area trail. Bridge work this time of year is a cold, wet, messy business…

but the end reward is worth it! The new completed bridge is high and dry and looks great!

Thanks team!
