Teichert Construction will be implementing 1 lane traffic control along Vasco Rd (at Brushy Creek bridge) on Thursday, 6/24/10, from 9 am to 3 pm. Commuters should expect delays while County biologists work on the bridge to re attach netting to prevent birds from nesting on the bridge structure itself. Surprisingly, the concrete angle points on bridges are prime habitat for birds to form "mud" nests. Birds that form new homes on the bridge may delay the project so County biologists monitor and implement measures to prevent birds from establishing nests. On Brushy Creek bridge, netting is installed under the bridge at the abutments and along the edge of deck. Due to the high winds, netting must be constantly maintained and reattached to prevent it from blowing onto the roadway itself or falling into the creek, which is sensitive habitat.
