UPDATE: ***RESCHEDULED*** Chester Bowl bridge ribbon cutting has been postponed to Monday, July 10 at 3:00 PM
DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The public is invited to a ribbon cutting Wednesday to celebrate the restored bridge over Chester Creek.
After the flood of 2012 washed out the dam and pond at Chester Bowl and a temporary foot bridge was installed for crossing the creek but it often had to close due to high water levels during the spring snow melt.
The new bridge supports year-round recreation at Chester Bowl and improves trail connectivity.
The bridge was funded through a Community Development Public Facilities grant, economic development from St. Louis County and donations to the Chester Bowl Improvement Club.
Support was also provided by LHB Incorporated and the City of Duluth.
The ribbon cutting event will be held at 3 p-m Wednesday at the Chester Bowl Chalet at 1801 Skyline Drive.
