Stow Street Bridge

The lanes of the Stow Street bridge in Kent have been narrowed to prevent further damage after the county engineer discovered minor degradation. The bridge is pictured here in March 2022. Wendy DiAlesandro/The Portager

Stow Street bridge replacement still years away

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Kent drivers, beware: those barrels lining the south side of the Stow Street bridge will likely remain in place for at least another year.

2028: that’s when the county hopes to start replacing the entire structure, a project slated at this point to cost some $4 million. No word on when construction is set to start, but the bridge will be completely closed for up to three months from the big day.
