I live In New Richmond I drive this drive very often, I personally think that it is foolish to build a “walking/Biking” bridge….where on earth do they think people will go once they get to Houlton, The Nasty Stripe club, Or the amazing gas station? There is Truthfully nothing on that side of the river to spend 12 million dollars on…. I think that they want to preserve the bridge because it’s a part of History and its a Historical Land marker but I do not feel that putting money into it is going to benefit anything.
They are Building a new bridge to replace that bridge and spending millions on that bridge just to turn around and urine away more money….if they are going to Fix the lift bridge they shouldn’t have even started building a new one!
