BRIDGE STREET TRAFFIC TO BE RE-ROUTED:  Bridge Street from Brooklyn Street to the truck route will be closed starting in May for six weeks to replace the water lines, sidewalks and repave the street.  The “old” route through town and up Brooklyn Street will be open.  Students will all need to be picked up/dropped off on the lower end of Bridge Street.  All students that live on this section of Bridge Street will be responsible for using the traffic light to cross the truck route and get back over to that side of Bridge Street during this construction.  This will impact Bus #25-M4
