Overview
- Construction finished on March 4 and the bridge reopened to guests, with construction walls and scrims removed.
- Disney closed the bridge on February 4 to repair worn wooden panels that presented splinter hazards and potential structural concerns.
- The park chose a full shutdown to resolve the safety issue quickly rather than keep limited access during ongoing work.
- The closure disrupted guest flow through Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, forcing detours and creating crowding at alternative paths.
- Disney masked the work with walls, green scrims, and a themed sign reading “Pardon our detour critter crossing while we forge the way for your next adventure,” reflecting routine upkeep for the 2001-era outdoor play area.
