JAMAICA â The Jamaica Select Board has a decision to make about the Depot Street bridge, and that decision could cost taxpayers between $154,000 and $423,000.
Laura Stone, a civil engineer with the state of Vermont, told the board Monday night the lower cost would be for rehabbing the current bridge, which is owned by the town and is almost 100 years old, and the higher cost would be for a new bridge just upriver from the current location.
âThe Select Board can choose which direction they want to head in,â said Stone. But, she said, the board needs to make a decision before the end of the summer if it wants the bridge work to be done in 2024. A late decision could push the start date out a year, said Stone.
