Winnetuxet Bridge redux

March 22, 2024 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

MassDOT will consider comments on the replacement of the Winnetuxet Rd., Plympton, bridge over the Winnetuxet River until Friday, March 29. Comments should be mailed to Heidi Davis, MassDEP Wetlands Program, 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900, Boston, MA 02114 or email heidi.davis@mass.gov by the March 29 deadline.
After much commentary last fall, the new design of the replacement bridge, will be much the same as the existing bridge, but will be wider, to accommodate two lanes. A full superstructure bridge replacement is proposed, with most of the project underneath the bridge, making a stronger support structure.
DOT’s John Goggin, said the project is scheduled to be advertised this summer and a contract awarded in the fall. He anticipates that the majority of work will occur in 2025.
Wooden rails on the sides of the bridge will be similar to those currently in place, so it will essentially look much as it does today but will be much stronger.
