Website says bridge reconstruction is expected to be completed by end of May. We are traveling from Atlanta and that is part of the KT that we planned on riding. Does anyone know if the contractor is on schedule and that it is realistic to expect it to be reopened by the end of May? We "encountered" the flood of 2008 when we rode the entire KT and it really cost us in shuttles, extra Amtrak rides to retrieve our car, hotel changes/cancellations, etc. We simply want to avoid those hassles on this trip! Thanks.
