Anna Hunt Marsh and Charles Dana Bridge Rehabilitation Project

planned

This project involves the rehabilitation of the 100-year-old Anna Hunt Marsh Bridge and the Charles Dana Bridge, which connect Hinsdale to Brattleboro. The rehabilitation is planned to preserve these historic bridges, with an estimated cost of at least $8 million and a duration of about two years. The project is funded primarily through federal grants and includes commitments to keep the bridges open for pedestrians and access to the Connecticut River island between the bridges. Discussions are ongoing about the future management and maintenance responsibilities of the bridges and the island, including options such as gating the bridges temporarily, demolition, or establishing a public-private partnership or bridge authority.
