Reconnecting with nature will soon be made even more possible with a new foot bridge at Cottonwood Island Park.
The City of Prince George has contracted the services of Nahanni Construction Ltd. for the design and construction of a new bridge to replace the previous structure which was washed away during the ice jam in the winter of 2007-2008.
Nature enthusiasts can admire their surroundings as they walk the bridge which will feature parallel, fabricated structural steel supports with a wooden deck and will be located in the northwest end of the park.
"Prince George residents highly value their city parks, particularly destination parks like Cottonwood," says engineering assistant Michael le Morvan.
"Replacing the bridge has been on our to-do list for a long time so we would like to thank residents for their patience and council for providing the means to undertake the operation this year."
Construction is set to begin this month and is due to be completed by spring 2018.
The project budget is $369,000.
