The Winnetuxet Big Dig!

March 21, 2025 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

The signs have been up to detour around the Winnetuxet Bridge in Plympton for more than a month now.

The old timbers that made up the floor of the bridge are gone and will be replaced with a blacktop surface that is easier to plow and maintain, according to Highway Superintendent Rob Firlotte.
