As many of you already know, prep work on the Bates Bridge project was well underway last Friday morning. Surveying crews were marking off the locations where the new bridge will “come ashore,” trees were cut and removed from both Groveland and Haverhill riverbanks and utilities were being relocated on the Haverhill side.
Traffic tie-ups were an issue on both sides of the Bridge. Civilian flaggers were working on the Haverhill side of the Bates Bridge, but not in Groveland Square. Rep. Stanley was there to see the situation for herself and to talk with MassHighway supervisors. She did confirm that Police Departments in both communities had advance notice of the work.
Despite the traffic issues, it was clear that the Bates Bridge project is in progress – and after 15 years, we’re glad to see it get going. Next time, we’ll try to get you advance notice, too, so you don’t spend too much time in traffic. Meanwhile, contact Heidi Michitson at michitson@comcast.net or Stephanie Cappucci at stephanie.cappucci@state.ma.us with any questions or comments.
