Covered bridge won't reopen with a whimper Plans in the works f...

Plans are being made for an official opening of the landmark covered bridge next spring that will include closure of Lowell Street for an old-fashioned street dance, creation of a park and re-enactment of militia Capt.

Slightly confused. Is the bridge going to be ready and open to traffic this fall? I really couldn't give a hoot about any ceremonies. I just want to get around the snarl of Mill Street and RR Square.

Why should the Board of Selectmen be in charge of the re opening party? What did Joe Sergi or the other current Selectman do to get the bridge rebuilt? I think Bob Lee should be the one to decide on a proper grand opening. After all he was the driving force in this project.

You're being unfair to Joe Sergi. Shouldn't he have the opportunity to dedicate the bridge to the unneeded override (or the bridge to your wallet).
