Andover – At the August 6, 2024 meeting of the Andover Select Board, we held the start of the meeting at the Cilleyville Bog Bridge to examine the bridge and discuss a solution to address structural concerns. Research for grants has not been successful. An LCHIP grant was previously awarded for repairs approximately 20 years ago.  

The goal of the Board is to have a plan available for Town Meeting. There is a bridge report, designed in 2022 by engineers Hoyle and Tanner, which details the need to bring the bridge  back to a structurally sound state. A follow-up meeting with Hoyle and Tanner is planned and a plan of action will be prepared.
