 Water St. Bridge closing
« on: Today at 02:38:52 PM »QuoteModifyRemoveWhy is the bridge closed everyday? This is freak-in ridiculous. The bridge was supposed to be closed a few days here and there not every freak-in day someone on that board better get to the bottom of this. I'm not going chase street or Lancaster road for the next freak-in year or so. If the brain trust down the bridge can't figure it out someone on the board should. I don't want to hear about it is a state road and it's their decision because that is bull crap. rumor has it that it was bid wrong and they need to close to make up time. I don't care about their time I care about mine and my fuel. Low bidder getting the job on a bridge is scary enough. Something better happen soon!

I don't know anything about it.
It sure seems confusing they would shut the bridge down all day.  Maybe somebody knows, and they can let us know what's going on.

And hopefully it is NOT that this was bid incorrectly and its closed due to costs.It is VERY inconvenient to go around every day

Isn't this the section "ASK A SELECTMAN". WHY ARE THEY NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION!!! TYPICAL.

Even if you go to a meeting and ask a question that Dickhaut woman will just say thank you for your input. No transparancy, just roadblocks to receiving public information.

The  reason it is closed is because they have to pay flagmen 41 an hr each for 2 of them when its open. This would require 1 police officer for traffic. Flagmen cannot work alone. This is also a town owned road using federal money for a state project. It is NOT a state road. If this is closed it is only because the selectmen allow it. There is no posting that it is closed at the top of Harris so you dont find out until you get down to the bottom of the hill.

There are traffic lights on each side of the bridge. there is no need for flagmen. this is a f___ing joke. the reason for putting the lights on both sides was to keep one side of the bridge open and no need for police of flagmen. Someone from the selectmen better answer the question "WHY IS THIS BRIDGE CLOSED!!!"

[Site Staff]

This is a moderated section folks.
Let's tighten up the vulgarity please.

[Paul Ciciotte]

Who the hell is the site staff? I wan't to hear from a selectman not you.

[nimby1]

They close it because during the day when they are working they are constantly coming onto the roadway with equipment that would require someone to direct traffic around the equipment coming on and off the road. This would require 2 flaggers or 1 police officer. Remember that this was given to the lowest bidder who is now trying to save every dime because he bid low to get the job.

Read all about it on Clinton's Official town website.  All important news is posted under "TOWN NOTICES"

You folks are silly in not knowing this is a 19th 20th 21st century town with all the modern conveniences... like running water and that new fangled thing that Al Gore developed... the internet!

Darn it Greg, you got me again!

[Greg Stahl]

it is really sad to say that Clinton is so far behind the times in modern communication skills
