Yesterday, “06880” celebrated the reopening of Cobb’s Mill Inn (well, “La Roue Elayne at Cobb’s Mill Inn.”)
Many readers were pleased.
One, however, was particularly alert. Far in the background of the photo —
— he noticed the arch bridge on Route 57. It’s hurting, he says, and must be replaced.
He should know. He’s an engineer.
He predicted a choice: Shut down the road for 4 months and replace the bridge all at once, or maintain some traffic and let the project drag on for 2 years.
Either way, people will be inconvenienced.
And the newly reopened Cobb’s Mill — or whatever it’s called — will be affected.
