Jamestown Bridge

[afterhours]

what a great facility that would be! ...but you know the story- loud trash tossing people would have it closed in now time.

last I heard was its unsafe ..............BTT they tear it down ....... the cost of putting something will be the excuse to never see it happen ;

Nope.It is being removed.

Too bad it was allowed to deteriote to this point.What a place it would've been.I remember my childhood with my dad on the Meliville piers,would've been great to relive those days again on a place that would have been always for fishing.

Pretty sure that although there is a pedestrian walkway built into the bridge, there is actually no pedestrian traffic allowed at this time.

And it's true that the old bridge section is beyond repair and will be torn down. Enough NIMBYs in that area put up a stink about it that the idea and effort got bogged down, and now it's too late to save the old section. And I'm SURE it's way too expensive to build a new one for the foreseeable future. Too bad...
