WESTPORT — The 1938 Hurricane is still having an impact on the Westport River and local authorities hope to resolve it soon. The Hix Bridge was destroyed in that hurricane and had to be rebuilt, according to town authorities. There is now rubble sitting around that bridge and the Army Corps of Engineers has agreed to study the issue and remove the rubble. WRWA Executive Director Deborah Weaver and Ken Perez, a former EPA scientist, met with selectmen at the Feb 16 meeting . Weaver said the state DOT approved funding for the study and removal, but a spring deadline is looming. “What we are looking for is an endorsement of the continued urgency of this issue and to get this project done,” Weaver said.
