Old Arrowsic Georgetown Bridge Remains History
The new Woolwich Arrowsic bridge opens to motor traffic and ends a century old single lane link. The old bridge remains to be removed though approaches await permanent surfacing. Nearby, cat o nine tails line the road recalling torch parades and past youth mischief around election times. Trail magazine honors Harold D Haggett for 30 years with the State Highway Department before planning to retire to North Sidgecomb. A ledge cut 700 feet long and 40 feet deep was removed for Bath Route 1 traffic in a major city congested project. Mrs Thomas A Pankhurst returns home after a weekend in Hartland New Brunswick Canada.
