The state is expected to approve a little more that $2.5 million for improvements at state parks, including spending more than $500,000 to replace a bridge at Sherwood Island. The bridge is currently listed in critical condition based on recent inspections from the state Department of Transportation and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, said Will Healey, a DEEP spokesman. Under the project, which is expected to cost the state more than $541,000, a new one-lane bridge will be placed where the existing bridge stands. It will have a new, prefabricated, galvanized steel superstructure with concrete abutments protected by permanent sheet pile enclosures, according to a news release. Construction is expected to start in June and last six months. No closures will be needed to complete the work, Healey said.
