North Cove Bridge repaired as Eagle Scout project




The North Cove Bridge, built in 1997, received a major overhaul. Christopher Penny, Eagle Scout Candidate from T45 of the Boy Scouts of America, rebuilt the bridge with his family and troop. Chris raised five hundred dollars and received another donation of five thousand dollars of lumber from Core Tenn. Inc.

The bridge was dismantled and a telephone pole was carried by hand from the parking lot at the home site. A utility pole was purchased and donated by Ed Yost. The pole was replaced and the bridge was redirected on Sunday and reopened the following Saturday after railings were installed.

- Thank you, Christopher, Troop 45, Core Tenn and Ed!
