Ross approves new pedestrian bridges

Natalie Coffin Greene Park will get new bridges.

The Ross Town Council voted unanimously to approve purchasing three new pedestrian spans at a meeting Thursday.

The prefabricated steel truss bridges will cost $125,000, and include a contingency.

“This project will enhance an important community entryway and local hiking corridor,” Mayor Julie McMillan said. “The new bridges replace old wooden bridges, which were removed last September due to their extensive deterioration.”
