Main Street Bridge Parking Lane Closure

 

Due to on-going construction at the Center Falls Dam and the Main Street bridge near the Town Center, the Town has temporarily closed the parking lane on the south side of the bridge.  Additionally, traffic patterns have been temporarily re-routed onto the southern side of the bridge to close the entire westbound lane. 
This closure was necessary due to significant undermining of the bridge abutment recently discovered in the northeast quadrant of the Main Street bridge.  Once the emergency repairs are made to the bridge, the parking lane will be reopened and the traffic patterns will be restored. 
Parking on the northern side of the bridge will remain closed for the duration of the construction project, into at least Fall 2013.

Tom Howley was selected by the Chamber of Commerce as its 34th Citizen of the Year. The announcement was made at the recent joint meeting of the Winchester Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Winchester.
