Bridge renovation underway in Mohns Park, focus on the wooden structure

Mohns Park's iconic wooden bridge is undergoing restoration work

Mohns Park is set for an exciting change as the small wooden bridge within the park will be replaced, starting on Monday, September 1, 2025. The project is expected to last for approximately two weeks, with a tentative completion date around September 15, 2025.

The new bridge will be secure, aesthetically pleasing, and harmoniously blend into the park's landscape. While some paths in the park will be slightly altered during the replacement, visitors can expect a bridge that will allow crossing the pond for many more years after the construction.

The project will also involve the removal of silt from the area around the bridge and a small adjacent pond. The shore areas will be stabilised during the bridge replacement to ensure the park's natural beauty is preserved.

The steel supports of the bridge will remain and will receive new corrosion protection if necessary. The wooden planks, substructure, and railing of the bridge will be replaced during the construction.

The city asks for understanding regarding temporary pedestrian restrictions during the construction. Regular updates on the project's progress will be made available to keep the public informed.

Unfortunately, the name of the company responsible for the reconstruction of the wooden bridge in Mohns Park has not been disclosed. However, the city assures that the chosen contractor is experienced and capable of delivering a high-quality project.

The project's exact duration has not been specified but is estimated to be around two weeks. It is important to note that the project's duration does not include the weekend days.

The replacement of the bridge will result in its closure for approximately two weeks. Visitors are advised to plan their visits accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.

The city encourages everyone to visit Mohns Park after the bridge replacement and enjoy the improved facilities. The new bridge is set to be a beautiful addition to the park and will serve the community for many years to come.
