Found a washed-out bridge on the Northville-Placid Trail near Lake Durant

I was hiking the southern section last month and came to a creek crossing that was supposed to have a footbridge. The whole thing was gone, just some broken planks downstream. I had to bushwhack about a quarter mile upstream to find a shallow spot to ford. It added over an hour to my day. Has anyone else hit this spot recently and know if it's been fixed yet?

Typical trail maintenance, always keeping things interesting. Sounds like the bridge decided to take its own vacation downstream. Hope you packed extra snacks for that surprise detour.

Last time that happened I ended up wading through a creek.
