Random Rippling - Westfield Bridge Removal Update
posted: Feb. 22, 2024
The old Westfield Bridge over the canal has been removed [F5 on
map]. The portion under the roadway that has the channels where the river water flowed into the canal was the last part to be removed. The only part remaining in place is the original base of the old structure. The new bridge will be built on that base so as to not disturb the canal bed.
The White River used to flow through these channels under the road to fill the canal. These were the original canal gates.
On February 19 the old canal gates were broken up and removed
The new canal gates can be seen behind the construction work
On February 21 the old bridge was gone
