Dresden bridge replacement remains on schedule for 2027; osprey nest may affect timing
Summary
The Select Board reported the bridge replacement project is on schedule for 2027 start with an estimated two-year construction window, but an osprey nest on the site will require coordination and may affect timing.
The Select Board reported April 7 that the Dresden bridge replacement project remains on schedule, with construction expected to begin in 2027 and take approximately two years.
Town officials noted an osprey nest on or near the bridge site that will affect construction timing. The Select Board and the town administrator said they will stay in contact with the project manager to coordinate work around wildlife protections and seasonal constraints.
The board did not specify permits or mitigation steps in the minutes; members indicated timing will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate the nest. The project schedule otherwise remains unchanged according to the update provided at the meeting.
Next steps include continued coordination between the Select Board, town administration and the project manager as plans and environmental compliance are finalized.
