On Sunday, he was joined by community members and staff from Where The Love Is Animal Rescue to test out the bridge and attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Dogs crossed the bridge on Sunday which showcased the improvements to hiking paths on the shelter's property.
Elahee is set to begin at the University of Connecticut next fall. He facilitated the design and construction of the bridge with help from other Scouts from Troop #610.
'The most important aspect of an Eagle Scout project is that it benefits the community,' Elahee said.
