little bit more about what’s the highway going to look
like. How wide is it Where is it going to be What
is the bridge going to be What type of bridge,
because that has an impact on the size of the piers in
the river, which, of course, may increase or decrease
the impact
One of the keys, of course, is the
rehabilitation assessment of the bridge. As Mike said
earlier, we’ve concluded that it is just not
technically or economically, or even from a safety
perspective, feasible to rehabilitate the existing
bridge. That information is currently under review,
specifically by the Massachusetts Historical
Commission under Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, because we have an historic bridge,
and we anticipate a finding from MHC in the very near
future.
It is sensitive infrastructure and
there are some restrictions on what information can be
shared with the public because it is sensitive
information. It’s a critical infrastructure piece.
