The Great Arrigoni: Viewfinder
Do we take the 70-year-old bridge that links Middletown and Portland for granted? As August's center deck repair work approaches, we honor its majesty.
Named after the Durham state representative and later senator who championed its construction, the Charles J. Arrigoni Bridge is slated for much-needed repair work beginning Aug. 1.
Word from representatives of the state Department of Transportation that the project will be completed Oct. 1, 2012, and that two of the cross-river bridge's lanes will close for 15 months has the business community, members of the Chamber of Commerce, local officials, commuters and residents understandably up in arms.
To salve the cacophony of repair-work critics, we offer this sweeping pictorial — views of and from the bridge.
