SENATOR NEEDLEMAN WELCOMES MORE THAN $750,000 IN STATE FUNDS SUPPORTING LYME BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Today, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex) welcomed the news that the state Department of Transportation will commit $770,275 to the town of Lyme to support the replacement of the bridge carrying Beaver Brook Road over water.
“It’s great knowing the town of Lyme will receive this key support to support this important bridge replacement project, helping the local community, saving the town and its residents money and keeping local infrastructure safe,” said Sen. Needleman.
The funds will come from the State Local Bridge Program, a cost-matching grant program providing 50% of project costs for locally owned bridges. Towns and cities administer design and construction, while the DOT oversees project milestones and provides guidance.
Since 2016, the State Local Bridge Program has provided more than $129 million in grants to state towns and cities, representing significant financial relief to municipalities. |
