May 6, 2025 Update

And... we're back! The 2025 construction season is underway.

Over the past few weeks, the contractor has moved back into their housing area in the park. Last week, they began construction of the final bay on the east end of the bridge. This week, they will place a small crane on the bridge and begin erection of the west half of the bridge, which will extend out over the slide.

During the next two weeks, you may encounter oversized loads on the park road during the day. They will be accompanied by an escort vehicle. Once buses begin running for the summer on May 20, oversize loads will primarily be restricted to traveling at night.
