Rep. Guyer Secures $600,000 for Keystone Arches
Boston- State Representative Denis Guyer (D-Dalton) announced today
that $600,000 has been designated for the renovation of the Keystone
Arch Bridges as part of the Massachusetts House of Representatives’
Transportation Bond Bill. The bill will invest $1.5 billion into
the infrastructure projects in the Commonwealth.
The Keystone Arch Bridges are located on the West Branch of the
Westfield River in the towns of Becket, Middlefield, and Chester.
These stone arch bridges were constructed in 1841 to allow trains to
pass over the river. Today, the Keystone Arch Bridge Trail provides
recreational opportunities on the abandoned river crossings. This
earmark will be used for a project to restore the aging bridges.
“The Keystone arches are not only an historic and amazing piece of
engineering history, but also provide a great opportunity for people
now and of future generations to enjoy the natural beauty of the
Westfield River,” said Guyer.
“We deeply appreciate the efforts of Representative Guyer to secure
crucial funding for our project,” Christopher Curtis, Chief Planner
for the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, and project manager for
the Keystone Arch Bridges project noted. “This funding will enable
the full restoration of the Keystone Arch Bridges to be completed in
a timely manner, and preserve these national historic treasures for
the public to enjoy.”
“The Keystone Arch Bridges and surrounding landscape prominently
beckon to the forefront as being one of the most remarkable areas
along this National Wild & Scenic Westfield River,” stated Robert
Thompson, Chair of the Westfield River Wild & Scenic Advisory
Committee. “As one of the contributing historic resources which led
to the Westfield River's National Wild & Scenic designation, the
restoration of these extraordinary bridges is critically important.
This funding will insure the protection of these national
treasures.”
