MAIN STREET OVER PORTNEUF RIVER BRIDGE.
The city has budgeted funds to install a pedestrian bridge on the south side of the existing traffic bridge over the Portneuf River on East Main Street. The bridge will look identical to the one on the North side but wider to encourage tubers to refrain from walking on the traffic bridge. The city is working on acquiring a small portion of property from an adjoining property owner for the bridge installation.
