Opening Bids for New Brightman Bridge Delayed
The Herald News reports on chronic delays in the opening of bids for the construction of a new bridge to replace the deteriorating old Brightman Street Bridge. The postponement is “significant” for opponents of the Weaver’s Cove LNG terminal, who want to preserve the old Brightman Street Bridge as a way to stop the project, according to Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District Transportation Planning Manager and Deputy Director Roland J. Hebert.
