Description

Description

A long-planned project to build a 336-foot multi-use bridge over the Sandy River in Farmington, connecting the Prescott Field area to West Farmington. The bridge will provide direct access from the Whistle Stop Trail to downtown Farmington, allowing pedestrians, cyclists, and snowmobiles to cross. The project has a budget of $4.2 million, with funding from federal, private, local sources, and a proposed $500,000 town contribution. Construction is limited to a seasonal window due to the river's status as habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon, potentially extending the project over two years. The bridge will be owned and maintained by the state, built above the 500-year floodplain, and designed to last 75 years.
