Continued repairs to the Osborn bridge. Downstation end: drove (3) rebar through the stringers and sills. the upstream rebar missed the post and went into the ground. The center rebar went through the sill and into the ground. The downstream rebar went through the stringer, sill and into the post. Reinstalled the deck boards. Replaced the steps, used new Simpson stair hanging hardware. Load tested with 600 pounds, feels solid. Reattached the cable tie-down, was unable to turn the turnbuckle. Will replace with a new turnbuckle. Upstream end: drove rebar into the up and downstream stringers, went through the stringer, sill and posts. Was unable to remove the rebar in the center stringer, but it's solidly attached to the sill. Reinstalled the deck boards. Tightened the ledger board then replaced the steps, used the existing stair hanging hardware. Load tested with 800 pounds, feels solid. Screwed the tie-down about 1 foot into the ground, reconnected the cable and tensioned by twisting. Moved all the wood from location to the intersection with the LLCT for pickup using an ATV.
