Province to Replace Old Wooden Bridge Near Hampton

New for June 19 09 2:23pm

The Brawley Brook Bridge near Hampton is being replaced. The provincial government has set aside 160 thousand dollars to begin construction on the project Monday. The Damascus Road will be fully closed to traffic over the next 9 weeks while the Department of Transportation removes the bridge and replaces it with a 9.1 meter longer--and--9.1 meter wide concrete steel stringer bridge.

Transportation Minister Denis Landry says the existing wooden bridge is 42 years old and reaching the end of its service life.
