During the initial construction of the Farm at River Pointe Subdivision, the developer was required to install a temporary secondary access connecting to Kingsview Drive to provide emergency access to the subdivision in the event the primary access becomes impassable. The secondary access includes a temporary bridge over a small tributary which over time has eroded and compromised the integrity of the structure to a point that it is unsafe for emergency vehicle to utilize. To address the erosion issues, the existing bridge will be removed and the abutments on each side of the stream will be stabilized to provide adequate support for the structure. After the abutments are stabilized, the existing bridge will be re-set on the abutments and the wood deck replaced.
