What: the Town's local bridge program: engineering on Pulpit Rock Rd, drawings for Hopkins, and the Kenyonville bridge.
Where it stands: on 2026-10-13 the Board of Finance heard of a CHA invoice for the Hopkins drawings, preliminary engineering on Pulpit Rock Rd, and the Kenyonville bridge at about $1.5 million (the first federal bridge program).
Bridge program update: Hopkins drawings invoiced, Butts Road expected to bid in spring, Pulpit Rock engineering pending, Kenyonville (2028) about $1.5 million; reimbursement timing may force bonding.
Kenyonville bridge construction planned for 2028; the town fronts federal bridge program costs, so reimbursements from finished bridges will fund later ones and bonding may be needed. The Albert Rock Road bridge now needs a longer span under floodplain rules.
