(Hawley, MA) Hawley’s bridge over the Chickley  River on Route 8A has been reduced to one lane following a routine MassDOT inspection. The bridge has aged and is showing signs of wear and tear including erosion around the abutments and visible rebar. The bridge may not be replaced until 2028 due to the high volume of bridges requiring work in the state. The town is seeking help from legislators to get a mobile traffic light to direct traffic over the bridge.
