Eamon Kernan, MassDOT project manager. (WHAV News photograph.) A workshop, focusing on the appearance of a future Pfc. Ralph T. Basiliere Bridge over the Merrimack River, is set to take place the first week of April. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is having its second public meeting on the three-year bridge replacement project Monday, April 3, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., at the Haverhill Public Library's Johnson Auditorium, 99 Main St. As only WHAV reported earlier this month, Eamon Kernan, MassDOT project manager, said no part of the existing bridge can be saved, but it is possible one of the bridge's iconic towers could be placed near the rail trail.
