Paving the bridge

A year ago, the old bridge on the shore road was finally torn down and replaced. The new little bridge turned out beautifully, but it was left unpaved with only gravel at each end.

Today is one of those days. Well the clothes did dry in no time and they do have that nice fresh spring scent...
