Bridge Story: A locally constructed crossing was reconstructed by the community after the Mitch.  The new bridge was constructed using remaining cable from the bridge that was swept away with the Hurricane and was unstable, dangerous, and often impassible.  The new crossing will allow the community access to a number of services otherwise dangerous to previously access.
