Six Mile Red Trail Closure, Please Read

Dont show them this! Then we will have to buy a tugboat too!

Riverwalk becomes 300m floating missile

The tugboat pilots who steered a large section of the floating Riverwalk down the swollen Brisbane River overnight, avoiding the Gateway Bridges and vital infrastructure, have been hailed for their "amazing" work.

Let's make river crossing great again! 😄

but the road isn't over the 100 year flood level either

After the last few storms I'd say none of NJ is over the Flood Level 🤣

Drop the container idea - the way it floods there, and the flat face would put it on the road or in the canal.

we can walk the water, and look for something.

gondola or tram car is the answer. the towers can double as cell towers to cover the cost.
it can be run by electricity generated from the the 6MR.

Just out of curiosity, why are we looking for a bridge when the crossing on Blue is like 1/2 mile from where the blockage is?

increased two way traffic on blue

increased two way traffic on blue

So cross before Blue and ride through the old swamp trail?

If we're just looking for the easiest way to get a loop back to canal, can't we build something here? That might avoid all the elevation and flood issues next to Canal Rd.

Something like this has a pretty low impact.

@Steve Vai was this map just a coincidence that he marked the “swamp” trail as yellow, which i think was the color it was?

Super boardwalk through the swamp?

Yeah, that was Yellow. That was around maybe the first couple times I rode 6-Mile a billion years ago. Always had sketchy wet wood bridges

 

[Ian F]

Isn't that yellow line also the approximate route of the original Blue trail?

Before we get any hopes up for a new bridge, we need to find out what the park service may be amicable to...

Hold up. Don’t bring logic & reason into this conversation!

I vote hot air balloon transport system.

You’re not thinking big enough

 

[Pearl]

What if you just start throwing bags of concrete in the swamp loop

That makes me think, where did the OG concrete bridge come from anyway? Was that covered in the other thread?

Make sure you use bug spray.

Let's just have the park rangers wait in thier trucks at the end of the old red and shuttle riders down canal rd to the main lot. Perhaps acquire a few Escalades with 1up racks on the back stocked with cold waters for a nice refreshing ride.
