Town re-applies for grant to convert Old Boardman Bridge into pedestrian connection
Summary
Mayor Pete said the town is re-submitting a grant application to convert the disused Old Boardman Bridge into a walking bridge and tie it into the riverfront trail and Seaga Meadows.
Mayor Pete said the older, out‑of‑service Boardman span will be repurposed as a pedestrian walking bridge and that the town is reapplying for a different grant to support that conversion.
"The Old Boardman Bridge... will be a wonderful walking bridge, part of our riverfront trail," Mayor Pete said, describing the project as a way to connect the trail into Seaga Meadows. He noted the previous application for this structure had been denied, and the town is submitting the request again with additional information the state requested.
The mayor framed the reuse as a recreational and trail‑building effort rather than a vehicular project and said the town will continue to pursue the appropriate grant program for inactive bridges.
