WATERVILLE

The re-flooring of the Hunting
down avenue bridge over the Maui
gatuck river is now being COM
pleted by employees of the bridge
maintainence crew of the street
department.. This corrects high
way condition which has rapidly
become more hazardous during
the past few months particularly
since the bridge has been forced
to carry a much heavier trafflc
load since the various construction
operations in ThomastOn avenue
have all but closed that thorough
fare to. traffic. Most Waterville mo-
florists desiring to travel to Thorn
aston or points north prefer to de-
tour via Huntingdon and Water
town avenues to Watertown and
thence to Thomaston.
Single lane traffic is being main
tanned on the bridge during the
period of repairs. The bridge,
which was formerly in use on West
Main street, was removed from
the latter point when the present
structure of masonry arch. con-
struction was built several years
ago and was erected in its present
location when the course of the
Naugatuck river in Waterville was
changed some twelve years ago.
With the surfacing of Hunting
don avenue from Thomaston ave-
nue. to Watertown avenue, and the
development of the Paramount
section the bridge has experienced
rapidly increasing traffic burden
with resultant deterioration of the
flooring which makes the replace
ment new necessary.
