(Orange, MA) The Tully/Pinedale Bridge between Orange and Athol will be closing earlier than anticipated. MassDOT issued a notice to the towns that the condition of the bridge deck and the three ton posting warrant an early closing of the bridge before repair construction begins in April 2023. The bridge will be closed on December 29th and will hopefully reopen on December 1st 2023 once repairs are complete.
