What happened
The Jesup Road Bridge sustained significant structural damage during flash flooding on September 13.

Why it matters
The town is seeking a design team and is coordinating engineering, permitting, and funding to shorten the project schedule. The replacement bridge must be designed to handle larger storm events and hydraulic conditions than the town's current drainage system was built for.
