24 days after the storm in Middleton: Pheasant Branch Conservancy trail and bridge


This bridge over Pheasant Branch Creek is closed.  At a glance, it appears to have suffered little damage.  But then, I'm no engineer.

The section of the trail beyond the bridge, mostly along a boardwalk just south of a marshy area, remains closed.  Otherwise, all of conservancy trails are open to the public

I suspect the bridge remained in place as, unlike the Pheasant Branch Corridor, there was plenty of marshy open space for the floodwaters to spread out.
