'Three Winters We've Been Here'


By Ellyn Santiago

Mystic Drawbridge is go!

According to project manager Brent Church, the Mystic drawbridge is fully operational, save for a few “minor adjustments” which will be dealt with during overnight hours so as not to disturb traffic.

“The bridge is working perfectly,” Church said.

Operators are being trained today and the crane is being moved out. The bridge will be raised, for now anyway, “on request” by boaters.

“We have some minor work, a few very small modifications and a little painting, but otherwise, our punch lost is getting smaller and smaller,” he said.

And just in time for the Downtown Stroll Saturday.

“That as our big push. We’re on time and will have everything done on schedule.”

All the final bridge work, save for off-bridge utility work, will be done mid-month, he said.
