(Greenfield/Montague, MA) Massachusetts Department of Transportation plans to partially reopen the General Pierce Bridge by this Friday, January 20th. The bridge will reopen one lane of alternating traffic, similar to how it operated before the current rehabilitation project. Temporary traffic signals and signs will be installed to direct drivers. Some work is still needed before the full re-opening that is set for late March of this year, including the installation of a pedestrian light system.
