Following an inspection by a private engineering contractor, the Iron Trestle Bridge over State Hwy. 51 south of Hazelhurst on the Bearskin Trail has been reopened to recreational use.

The former railroad bridge was damaged when hit by a truck on Oct. 30 and was temporarily closed by state officials pending a safety inspection. The state Department of Transportation along with officials from the Department of Natural Resources were on hand this past week when the bridge was inspected and found safe for use.
