    Will the Andover bridge open after the seismic retrofit finishes? The reasons for it being currently closed will not have changed, and won’t change until the upper bridge opens or later.

    We suggest that the WSB post the “pscleanair.org” website daily on this daily traffic, weather, etc. site as part of its information as long as our air quality is being affected by smoke. We’ve found it very helpful in planning our day and making sure we have a smoke mast on when called for.

Sorry, comment time is over.
