Construction
The Bartlett Road Bridge Replacement Project construction is complete. Lawrence-Lynch Corp. of Falmouth, MA completed the work as the Town's contractor. The project involved replacing the existing bridge on Bartlett Road adjacent to Tidmarsh Farms.
The existing bridge/culvert on Bartlett Road was in poor condition, with posted weight limits, and limits stream flow from Fresh Pond to Beaver Dam Brook. The new bridge/culvert will eliminate public safety hazards and enhance the river function. In addition to the bridge replacement, water main and drainage was installed in the project area.
Construction began the week of December 18, 2023 and was completed in May of 2024.

Additional design funds were approved at Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Fall Town Meeting. The Engineering Division submitted a $3,250,000 Capital Request (PDF) for consideration at the 2023 Spring Special Town Meeting (PDF).
