The covered bridge restoration is complete. 6 months and some changes and open for traffic. The engineer said there wouldn't be any windows and that's what caused some rot in the first place. It looks good, but it would look better with windows. Plus the old bridge had a star at each end which gave it some class, which the new one doesn't. I'm glad it's been saved and restored, it just doesn't have the class the old bridge did, now its new looking and clinical. I guess in a few years when the cedar weathers it will look better, we'll see. At least Otway has a tourist action now. The official ribbon cutting ceremony is this Saturday, hoping for big turn out,
