Fingers are crossed at Metro 麻豆传媒映画that in 2018 a bridge for hikers, cyclists and equestrians over the Seymour River is built.
The regional authority issued another request for proposals earlier this month looking for potential firms to build a replacement for the Twin Bridges crossing,
Metro came up with rough designs and attempted to get a contractor to do the job in 2017
Metro has since tweaked the design and repackaged the RFP with another project to build a new access bridge at the top of Riverside Drive but the timing of the bidding process will probably make the biggest difference, said Mike Mayers, superintendent of environmental management.
鈥淲hen we went out last time, we were headed right into the busy fisheries window season. That鈥檚 when most bridge work gets completed and companies were really busy,鈥� Mayers said.
鈥淲e鈥檙e hoping by putting it out in December/January, we鈥檙e actually ahead of the game.鈥�
The bridge, when completed, will be 2.5 metres wide with railings high enough to safely accommodate cyclists and equestrians.
