Bridge project, Part 2
Earlier this month I showed you the pathway/stair portion of the redevelopment project on the south side of the Lake Natoma Crossing. This post will cover two remaining parts of the construction — the stairs leading down from street level and the paving of the overlook near the shore. Even though I didn’t take my photos by an organized schedule, it’s still interesting to compare before and after views of the affected areas.

The transition area, once a few sets of rough steps defined by railroad ties and a dirt pathway, eventually gave way to concrete stairs and tiled walkways.
