From the weekly Town Administrator report:
Public Works
Highway Department: The street sweeper is down – again! The bridge on Stoney Bridge Road has had deterioration causing us great concern and the need to think of a possible closure. We are reaching out to our public safety team and the Phillipston folks as the roadway continues onto their Burnshirt Road. We are also researching the costs of a potential engineering report and possible sources of money especially given its historic nature.
If the Town owned sweeper keeps breaking down, maybe it is time to put that service out to bid just as the drain cleaning was.

Stony Bridge is a historical stone bridge. It will have to be replaced with stone, just as the original is. How much money will be available to do this job is questionable. This would be a good use for Community Preservation money..Sure beats buying a swamp !
ReplyDeleteThe bridge was dangerous ! I am glad the decision was made to close the road. Let's hope it will not take forever to get it fixed.
