The Globe reports that the ramp from Rte. 9 westbound to Washington St. could be just a few months away from re-opening, but cracks in some beams mean that completion of construction will be pushed out until next year, maybe around this time in 2009.
Eleven years in the works, the bridge could be done by this fall, according to Mass Highway officials. Meanwhile, Wellesley man-about-town Tory DeFazio calls the bridge a “work of art,” partially explaining the project’s length. From the Globe:
“The stone work on the bridge is part of the character of the town,” DeFazio said.
“It inspired other construction - churches, fire station, the clock tower - that adds to the beautification of the town.”
