New England Power Plant Boat Ramp Permanately closed??

[Hookedagain]

My son and I take my lab for a walk to the water about every other night or so. I launch my tin boat all winter long for duck hunting and have been using it since May for fishing the Taunton River. Last night we walked a mile and a half to let the dog swim and......CLOSED!!!! Not wood horses across the road....not a chain around closed gates....nope, WELDED SHUT! This tells me there is no plan to re-open it. I was there Tuesday and we had a ball with the dog....go back Wed and its shut down. I don't understand it. No warning, just close a place the gets used and there is no trouble there. If anyone has any info as to what happened or why they closed it let me know.
