West Branch greenway closed next week for bridge maintenance

With unseasonably warm weather here for an extended period, people may be thinking of hitting the greenways.  If you are one of those thinking of doing so, get your fix in this week and this coming weekend.  Next week portions of the West Branch greenway will be closed for bridge maintenance.

The below signs are posted visible where the greenway crosses Robert Walker Drive.  According to the signage, the southern most section will be closed next Monday with the remainder closed Tuesday through Friday.

Readers may be wondering if the work is related to the damage suffered by the greenway last year after the West Branch neighborhood construction began and there were some flooding rains.  Per the Town's Public Works Director, Doug Wright, that is not the case.  Instead, these closures are just routine maintenance.
