The Berkley / Dighton Bridge

Again, the condition of this decomposed ,dysfunctional bridge made the newspaper. Talk - Talk - Talk that's what the 2 Towns Board Members keep doing....

When are they going to take some action????

I have read and have been told more times than I can actually count how bad off and dangerous that bridge is, at any given point it could collapse. This has been going on, to my knowledge, for over 13 years. Yes, OVER 13 years!!

In that amount of time new infrastructure could have been completed. A new route created. A new plan agreed to. Dog gone it The Big Dig was done in 20 years! We are only talking about a bridge.

Here's a bright one - "Let's ticket people driving oversized vehicles for using it" Hmmmmm, would that be before or after you pull their vehicle out of the water.

Then someone commented (names have been omitted) that closing the bridge "affects business owners" Like drowning bodies doesn't?!?!

You must be thinking that either Berkley or Dighton are islands with no other access...NOT! You have many other options to getting over to Dighton or for Dighton coming to Berkley. Yes it will require some extra driving time, 15 minutes.

I see a lot of finger pointing, let's blame the State, or how about the engineers and now the Coast Guard.

Just shut the relic down!!
