Is tamarack (Eastern Larch) suitable for use as bridge planking over a small waterway in my woodlot.  It will have full sun exposure so will remain relatively dry. The beams for the bridge will be treated timbers.  I am seeing quite a bit of die-off in the surrounding properties and I want to harvest/use the larger tamarack before they disappear.

It'll be good for about 10 years. Being in the sun will make it last longer.   I have some that needs replacing on an atv bridge but it was old when I put it on a few years ago and it rarely sees sunlight.  I decked my trailer with it.  Some of it moves drying.  Use it right away.
