These top two photos were taken March 7, 2022 of the finished wood fiber nanocellulose cement bridge over Moffett Creek in Siskiyou County, CA. Due to a continuing drought, there is unfortunately no water going under the bridge.
Siskiyou County leaders involved in utilizing the new type of wood fiber nanocellulose cement for a bridge were Ben Haupt, Klamath National Forest Timber Manager; Ray Haupt, Siskiyou County Dist. 5 Supervisor; Scott Waite, director of Siskiyou County Public Works; and Grace Bennett, retired Siskiyou County Supervisor from Dist. 4. Grace is considered the driving force in utilizing the new nanocellulose wood fiber technology. Photo was taken in November 2020, when the four high-tech slabs were laid across the bridge.
