LIVERMORE FALLS ADVERTISER • September 16, 2021
Selectmen Tuesday night, Sept. 14, approved using $5,000 from the Rail Trail Bridge Reserve Account to go towards a pre-engineering report for rebuilding a bridge in West Farmington. The railroad bridge that allowed snowmobile travel across the Sandy River was removed several years ago. Since then the town, Androscoggin Valley Council of Government, and the state have looked at ways to replace it. A study in the early 2000s estimated the cost at $1.6 million. A new way is being looked at for crossing that span, Town Manager Christian Waller said.
