In Fianna, long long ago there was a time when Derek's Terrace was not in place and there was a wild untamed section across a gap. When it was decided that a flattened area was to be built across this gap, some way of crossing it was brought up for discussion. Dozens of ideas were brought to the table: |

After much deliberation and thought, it was decided that a bridge should be put in place as the simplest, easiest to use, and most cost effective option. The materials were then put into consideration, what was available? what was best suited? most durable? Oak wood and fence posts were the perfect materials that fit those denominations.

The good Doctor surveyed the land in front of him, with quick and perceiving eyes he determined where the start and end should go to best ease the crossing. The materials were already gathered by the citizens and in a short day (in game) he placed it in all its magnificence. |

Planning and Construction
In the early days of the Fianna Tribe, most structures were focused on the main section of Dwarf Island. The southeastern section of the island was previously planned by Vanskovich to be used for a hotel. Early in the Industrialization phase, Fianna sought to build a ranch with which to raise animals. The eastern portion of the main island proved too rugged and stony, and so they made plans to build upon the southeastern section (soon to be called Derek's Terrace, now called Medoh). It was then that Doctor_Hound constructed a bridge in order to cross the river which separated the section from mainland Fianna. He constructed it from oak wood, and outfitted the top with automatic nightlights. He decided to name the bridge after Joe LaPorte, a legendary figure in Fiannan folklore. The Fenians also saw the Terrace as a suitable spot for farmland, and decided to flatten the area out. Darth_Percy was assigned to the task, and flattened out nearly the entire area, extending all the way to the beach. However, he had destroyed the hill which the Joe LaPorte bridge connected to, making the bridge near-inoperable. This was solved when mr_gidyup placed a diagonal staircase leading downward where the hill once stood.

Reconstruction
Around 1/28/2020, mr_gidyup had rebuilt the Joe LaPorte Bridge with a few new additions. Namely, he had remade the bridge in a bespoke style which led to a directly level section of Medoh; the oak material of the previous Joe LaPorte Bridge was replaced with stone and terracotta to prevent future burnings. He had also deemed a roof unnecessary, considering the short length and sleeker look of the new bridge.
