Description

At the east end (Eastbound lane) and the west end (westbound lane) of the new bridge, a pedestrian safety hazard was caused when the bridge was built. With no traffic guard rail, there is a section (about 12 ft long) where a walker could slip and fall down the steep embankment onto the rail ROW. The drop appears to be about 30 ft down, with a steep angle of ~ 45-60 degrees. There are no barriers, handrails or fences to prevent a fall, and any fall would result in serious injury or worse.
