The construction project on Route 6 in the West End opened up to two lane traffic this past Monday, with work to be completed on curbing along the streets and the painting of arrows in the turn lane.
The West End is one of several state projects around the city at various stages of completion. Over on East Street, between Riverside Avenue and Memorial Boulevard, the bridge over the Pequabuck River is under construction.
On Jerome Avenue, the Jerome Avenue Bridge has been dug out and concrete poured in the wood brackets for concrete footings.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
