The North Street Bridge needs to be replaced, but its neighbors are not happy about the 18 to 24 month timeframe it will take. When the bridge was inspected on March 7, 2022, the town’s Department of Public Works found it to be in “critical condition,” which resulted in emergency repairs. But the bridge still needs to be replaced, which is slated to begin in the spring of 2025, said Gabriella Circosta-Cohee, chief engineer. Circosta-Cohee said the current replacement plan calls for the bridge to be constructed using the accelerated bridge construction method which, according to the Federal Highway Administration, is a way “to reduce the onsite construction time that occurs when building new bridges or replacing and rehabilitating existing bridges.” The Board of Estimate and Taxation included $3 million for bridge replacement in the 2023-24 town budget, but the board conditioned the funding upon holding public hearings and providing more information about flooding on West Brothers Brook, downstream of the bridge.
