With the Huguenot Bridge reconstruction expected to go on for another two years, its time to examine how the project has changed our river habits in the area surrounding Huguenot Flatwater.

Huguenot Bridge is under reconstruction, trail is closed at timesThe river access and takeout has not been altered or blocked at any time, but the trail is often closed to construction. The trail between the parking area and the eastern portion of the park is supposed to be open when construction isn’t in progress.

The river channel is open, and I’ll bet that many paddlers have not been inconvenienced by the cranes and construction of the new bridge.

The biggest complaints I’ve heard have been about the closing of the access to Riverside Drive from the southbound lane off the bridge and the fact that runners and bikers have no safe areas while on the bridge itself.

Still, how has the construction changed your experience in the area surrounding Huguenot Flatwater?
