A new bridge replacement plan has been put forth, and a public hearing will be held at 1 p.m. Dec. 3 via Zoom to hear reactions from residents. The bridge over Cider Mill Brook is near Binney Park and the Perrot Memorial Library. It was built in 1925 and rehabilitated in 1977. The replacement is considered a major priority for the town. The most recent inspection of the bridge showed continued deterioration of the stone masonry fascia, according to the Department of Public Works. The superstructure shows visible damage, with exposed rebar, cracking, spalls, honeycombing and scale on the concrete slabs. The DPW calculated that approximately 14,500 cars travel over the bridge each day. If it’s not replaced, the bridge would have to be closed to vehicular traffic, DPW officials have said. If approved, construction would take about three months. Detours would be put in place for vehicles, while pedestrians and local access would be maintained. The price tag in the past was put at $3.5 million, with state funding available.
