NASHUA – The Board of Public Works will again weigh whether to spend $1.8 million to make the Broad Street Parkway’s three future bridges better looking on Thursday.
Earlier this month, the board sat down with the Board of Aldermen to go over haunched and straight giders, tinted or colored surface treatments, and three different types of ornamental lighting, bridge rail materials – among other elements – which, combined, could mean the difference of spending about $600,000 more per bridge, but still could stay within the project’s $68 million price tag, funded between city and federal dollars.
Aldermen approved a $37.6 million bond for the city’s share of the costs in 2008.
The meeting starts at 2 p.m. Thursday at Public Works Division headquarters at 9 Riverside St.
Along with the bridges, the board will get an update on the Broad Street Parkway project, review service contracts with a historic documentation company and historian service company for the parkway, as well as a professional services contract to design a pump to replace the Millyard fire pump to make way for the parkway.
