Westford student raises $2,200 to rebuild 24-foot trail bridge

Westford student Erin Gardner has launched an initiative to raise $2,200 for the reconstruction of the 24-foot Academy Bridge. The project, which serves as her Eagle Scout undertaking, focuses on securing funds for essential repair materials and the installation of new safety railings for the structure.

The bridge serves as a vital connection point for the local community, facilitating transit between area schools and recreational spaces. The effort aims to address the current state of the bridge, which has fallen into disrepair, to restore its utility for students and residents.
