Select Board told Glidden Bridge replacement is town responsibility; engineer to be consulted
Summary
The board was told the State indicated the town is responsible for replacing Glidden Bridge; the bridge is due for inspection in two years and could be closed by the State if repairs are not made, so the board asked staff to consult the engineer on next steps.
Wayne reported that Darin Walker told him the State determined replacement responsibility for the Glidden Bridge rests with the Town. According to the minutes, Walker indicated the bridge is due for another inspection in two years and that, without repairs, the State might close the bridge.
The Select Board instructed Lynne to contact the town engineer to obtain the engineer's assessment and recommendations for next steps. The minutes do not record an immediate motion or earmarked funds for bridge repair; they record a direction to seek professional engineering input.
The board’s discussion places the bridge on a short watch list: another inspection is scheduled in two years and the town may need to plan for repairs to avoid closure. The minutes do not list a specific timeline or funding plan for replacement.
