  • Toxaway Suspension Bridge Renovation
    Fall 2019 Newsletter for the Foothills Trail Conservancy - - www.foothillstrail.org Toxaway Suspension Bridge Renovation As part of Duke Power’s (now Duke Energy) construction of the middle portion of the Foothills Trail, there were many bridges built to cross the myriad rivers and creeks of the Jocassee Gorges. These bridges came in all shapes and sizes, but the granddaddy of them all was the suspension bridge over the Toxaway River. Designed by the engineering section of Duke Energy, the 225-ft bridge was built in the early 80’s. Two Duke engineers, Nick Seagle and Ed Luttrell were the primary engineers for the design and construction of all the bridges, including the Toxaway bridge. Construction on the bridge by Duke commenced in 1982 and took several months to com- plete. The heavy equipment necessary to carry out the project was brought down an old roadway from the Wilds camp north of the bridge site, including multiple loads of concrete in standard concrete trucks! All the Duke Energy bridges have been inspected on a regular basis, and a recent inspection revealed that some deterioration had begun to take place in parts of the wood supporting pillars of the bridge that would cause them to be replaced. They decided this was a good time to refurbish the entire bridge! After studying all angles of this enormous task, they also decid- ed that the best material for the long- est life of the bridge was fiberglass. This would be much lighter to transport to the site, but also would be very long-lasting.

  • Mr. John Cleeves U.S. Forest Service 4931 Broad River Road Columbia, SC 29212
    "John Helms" To: <[email protected]> <[email protected] cc: > Subject: Chattooga Scoping Document 08/28/2007 07:13 PM Mr. John Cleeves U.S. Forest Service 4931 Broad River Road Columbia, SC 29212 RE: Chattooga Scoping Document Dear Mr. Cleeves, The USFS’s own capacity study demonstrated that boating is an appropriate use of the Upper Chattooga River, yet 5 of 6 proposed alternatives ban boating on some or all of the upper river. The Upper Chattooga’s capacity to support whitewater boating is not zero, and all action alternatives must allow at least some boating on the entire river. Any alternatives that limit recreation must do so based on the capacity of the river corridor as determined by real data – and must do so equitably. Please do consider as well the fact that boating on the Upper Chattooga is very limited due to the requirements of Mother Nature to provide sufficient rainfall in order for boating to even become possible, which, as you well know happens in a very erratic and (usually) short periods of total calendar days in any given year. Boating allowed on the Upper Chattooga would most certainly be considered low-impact by any standards. However, should I happen to be faced with a "take it or leave it" position regarding this issue, I would place my vote on Proposal #6. Thank you very much for your time and any consideration given. Sincerely, John Helms 102 Wolf Ridge Ct. Hot Springs, AR 71913 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] cc: 08/28/2007 08:57 PM Subject: Chatooga River Comments Mr.
