June Bates Bridge Update

We had hoped that it would be 21% by June 21st – but the news is still good. The Bates Bridge project is 18% complete.

As most of you can see from all the cranes and heavy equipment, construction is going quickly, with most of the work being done from working barges on the downriver side of the Merrimack.

On the Groveland side, utility relocation work continues along Main Street. To see pictures, go to the Groveland/Haverhill Bates Bridge Reconstruction page.
