A portion of a 21-mile-long trail in Pierce County could be closed for at least a year or two due to bridge repairs.
According to Pierce County officials, the Spiketon Ditch Bridge on the Foothills Trails is unsafe for public access until it undergoes major repairs or replacements from rot and water intrusion. "No trespassing" signs have been installed. Trail users must not cross the bridge. The county says there is no detour. It will take one to two years for completed repairs according to the website.
For your safety, do not attempt to access the bridge. No authorized detours are available at this time. If you choose to attempt to climb over or move the barriers on bridge, trespass on nearby private property, or use the highway as an alternative route, you do so at your own risk.The closure stems from a November 2023 bridge inspection that revealed distress in the top chord of the truss, making it unsafe to cross the bridge.
