The Willimansett Bridge is a steel truss bridge over the Connecticut River located between Chicopee, Massachusetts and Holyoke, Massachusetts. It carries Massachusetts state routes 116 and 141. ==History== The bridge was built in 1891 by Richard F. Hawkins Ironworks〔 * (Google books )〕(superstructure) and Wright Lyons and Company (substructure) with Edward S. Shaw as engineer〔See ''Maker's Plaque'' image〕 at an original cost of $178,326.69.〔 * (Google books )〕 The bridge received new weight restrictions in the summer of 2007. A refurbishment project began in August 2011. The $19 million project included bridge deck replacement, sidewalk replacement, bridge rail replacement, substructure repairs, cleaning & painting of structural steel. Girders, steel trusses and one or more of the piers will be replaced. The bridge is closed to traffic during the 2.5 year planned construction but was usable by pedestrians during the project.〔http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20110815chicopeeholyoke_bridge_closes_for_repair_work/ The Boston Herald/Associated Press〕 The original contractor went bankrupt, causing a 9-month delay. Northern Construction took over the work. In 2014, an additional cost $3 million was added to the project. The bridge re-opened on June 12, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Willimansett Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
