CLAIM / MYTH: The pit isn’t “that close” to the covered bridge.

REALITY: The licensed excavation area is less than 180 metres from the
end of the bridge. It will extend into the tree line at the top of the
hill at the south end of the bridge. Its operation will be heard – at a
high volume level – from the bridge and the community park where
visitors linger after walking to, through and from the bridge. The pit,
aggregate piles, machinery, conveyor and crusher will be highly visible
from many spots where tourists stop to view the bridge against the
backdrop of the surrounding heritage landscape.
