Residents have been asking and a local state rep issued an update on the Braga Bridge lighting situation.
Carole Fiola stated on social media that as many have noticed, the lights on the Braga bridge have been removed to be modified and retrofitted to fit the design of the new and final lighting that will adorn the bridge.
“MassDOT District 5 let me know that the existing lighting will remain removed/disabled until such time that the permanent lighting is in place and energized. The time frame for the outage is expected to be until spring 2026 per the contractor’s schedule. I’m looking forward to seeing our Bridge brightly lit with countless color combinations at that time.”
In May of last year, it was announced that safety improvements and electrical/lighting upgrades would be taking place in the area of the Braga Bridge in Fall River and Somerset.
This is such a waste of money!!!
That representative is a wast of money
Is this a joke or something didn’t they just finish the lighting in the past 2 years for some crazy price
What a freaking joke. All that money and a shit timeline!! Haha Lmao @ MA.
Millions will be spent on such…big waist of money..
Put money into speeding cameras to slow drivers down it will save life’s and bring in revenue!
They should consider work inside the city and stop wasting money on lights
Is this rep serious? Who even approved this when our schools are literally falling down. What a joke. I bet if this is looked into, we will find a tie to whoever approved this and the company getting funded.
How about neaw tarmac. FALL RIVER roads are in shameful condition 😕
