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.”
