(MURFREESBORO) Approximately half of the Murfree Spring Wetland boardwalk system is open for public use after it was shut-down in December, 2022 when the City deemed it unsafe. An engineering study showed that each support had to be structurally enhanced with cross-bracing. In addition, some of the faux wood planks needed replacing after almost 25-years. By the way, studies show that planks made from recycled plastic bottles is much stronger than natural wood.
