The state’s plan to replace the Cape Cod bridges could send the new Sagamore Bridge directly through the Round Hill subdivision off Sandwich Road. Longtime residents have a lot to say. CAI reporter Jennette Barnes went out to speak with them.
I’m knocking on doors in a small subdivision just west of the Sagamore Bridge, on the Cape side.
The bridge looms high behind Cecilia Terrace. This street is the closest in the neighborhood to where the new Sagamore will likely land.
Eleanor Gallo, who is 80 years old, answers the door of a blue ranch. She’s worried the state will take her house.
“They just said they're going to take everything on this street. … That's all I know,” she said.
The source of that information is unclear, and she doesn’t have anything in writing.
“But they took all the trees, and now you can hear trucks all night long,” she says, referring to a clearing near the bridge.
