STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT

The twin bridges recently began to sway significantly sideways, especially when used by large groups of people at one time. Some of the wood was also in need of replacement due to splintering and major irregularities in the decking boards. The structural system was reinforced, and the sway was reduced significantly.
