Unfortunately, the bridge will not be rebuilt. Crossing the stream is possible when the water level is low (take off your shoes). Riding a horse (see the registered bridleway) is still possible.

Still a top trail that's a good ride! It's best to avoid rush hour, as there might be a lot of pedestrians on the trail.
