Closed-off bridge is topic of Dec. 20 meeting

NEW SHARON -- Town selectmen have scheduled a public meeting to discuss the Old Route 2 bridge over Muddy Brook, closed since last winter after being declared structurally unsound.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Dec. 20 at the Cape Cod Hill School on Cape Cod Hill Road.
The closure effectively turned the street into a dead end and sent motorists, snowmobilers, bicyclists and pedestrians looking for another way to get to the other end.
A month ago, a petition signed by over 400 people urged selectmen to do something about reopening the 78-year-old bridge.
In response, the board scheduled the public meeting and invited two Maine Department of Transportation bridge specialists to answer the community's questions.
"The public wants as much information as possible about the bridge and we want to understand our options," said Selectman Russell Gardner.
