The new bridge crosses Brushy about 200 yards downstream from the existing bridge.  Both entrances are blocked off and traffic is still routed around the existing road bed and bridge.

"It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it while you can, while it is still there. So go out there and hunt and fish and mess around.  Ramble out yonder, explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air. Sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space.  I promise you this one sweet victory, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by calculators. : you will outlive the bastards."

Bridge is open.  Old low pressure bridge still in place as of now.  Road to old bridge is kinda sorta blocked off but still usuable.
