KUEHNLE ELEMENTARY PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Following a recent inspection of the two pedestrian bridges along the hike & bike trail, the Bilma Board made the difficult but necessary decision to close the bridge nearest Kuehnle Elementary School due to safety concerns.
The District has begun the process to make emergency repairs to this bridge. While timelines may shift, the Board is hopeful that repairs can be completed within 6 months. This bridge will remain closed until all work is complete. Please do not attempt to cross the closed bridge. For your safety, obey all posted warning signs and barriers.
The second pedestrian bridge, located south of TC Jester (commonly known as the “Turtle Bridge”), is safe for use and will remain open for now.
In addition to repairs, the District is exploring replacement options for both bridges to ensure long-term safety and accessibility.
The Board understands how important these bridges are to the Bilma community and is committed to completing the work as quickly and safely as possible.
