Project

Maintenance and repairs for the bridges listed above, which are owned by the Town of Barnstable (or co-owned with neighboring towns) and inspected by MassDOT. This predominantly involves specialized maintenance and repairs that DPW Highway Division cannot readily perform, including but not limited to repairing or replacing structural elements, railings, concrete decking and sidewalks, correcting scour at bridge abutments, replacing expansion joints, repairing or replacing railings, etc. This project will fund repairs prioritized by the MassDOT
inspections.

The Town has inspection reports from the past few years identifying repairs
needed to these bridges. MassDOT expects the Town to repair deficiencies in a timely manner, and it is the Town’s responsibility to do so. It is also in the Town’s best interests to address deficiencies when they are relatively minor, before they become safety concerns and potentially much more costly.

To be funded by $500,000 of the March 2022 Bonds - 0.94% of the 2021 Capital Budget
