CLAIM / MYTH: Although Letson Drive, the road through the proposed pit, will be rerouted, vehicle andhorse-and-buggy traffic will be able to pass as usual.

REALITY: The new route will pass through an un-rehabilitated gravel pit;
hardly conducive to a positive experience. Horses, already skittish from
the unfamiliar surroundings, will be forced to travel over or under a noisy rock
conveyor. Horses may spook and bolt in front of slow-to-stop gravel
trucks crossing the road. Many Mennonites may simply choose to avoid
Letson Drive and the covered bridge altogether, rather than risk injury…
further spoiling “The Covered Bridge Experience”.
