August 2011, Pemi Wilderness Suspension Bridge Removal Update – Since the last update in April 2011, a couple more volunteer groups supervised by Forest Service have ventured into the Pemigewasset Wilderness of New Hampshire to remove bridge debris from the 180 foot suspension bridge. Located along the Wilderness Trail, this bridge was dismantled in late 2009 because of safety issues and to date debris remains at the site.

Today, only some cable and large timber supports (above) remain, which more than likely will be cut into small pieces and hauled out by human powered sleds during the winter months. Removal of the debris has been slow, but it is happening regardless of what is being said.

Happy image making..
