I wonder why they're closing it even to pedestrian and bicycle traffic?
Are there holes in the deck or something?

In case you didn't know, Route 66 State Park is the site of the old dioxin-contaminated Times Beach townsite.

And they made it into a park? :wow:
What were they thinking? :pan:
Remind me never to go there. :ded:
In case anyone's interested, I have pictures of the bridge from a visit there a few years ago.
