Summary
The DPW reported the Roberts Cove Road bridge replacement opened ahead of schedule and came in under the $400,000 authorized budget. Final reported cost: $399,908.67 after a $14,620 change order and $10,288.67 in additional materials.
The Department of Public Works summarized the Roberts Cove Road bridge replacement, which opened to traffic following a short closure that began July 6. The project team removed the old concrete bridge, set new precast sections and placed approximately 1,650 square feet of asphalt on July 16; the road was reopened the following morning.
DPW staff said the job was completed in eight working days (10 calendar days), 11 days ahead of the originally scheduled calendar, and that the combined contract, change order and additional materials produced a final project cost of $399,908.67—$91.33 under the $400,000 figure discussed in packet materials. The board thanked DPW staff and the contractor for completing the project quickly and safely; Selectmen noted the work provided useful experience for staff and added long-term infrastructure benefit.
