The city of Brookhaven advises the public stay off of the nature trail pedestrian bridge at Murphey Candler Park until the structure is replaced.
The city is currently working on a replacement, and is considering installing a temporary bridge. Access to the bridge has been closed by the city and signs are posted advising visitors to keep off.
The bridge was damaged in November after a tree fell on it.
“The city is working to get this resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible,” said District 1 Councilperson Linley Jones. “I am concerned about our residents’ safety, and urge pedestrians to stay off the bridge until it is replaced.” As part of the city’s master plan process for individual parks, a design for a replacement bridge has been completed and the public will be notified as soon as possible of plans to install a temporary bridge and of the status of the bridge replacement.
