The structure is a vital connection for residents and businesses.
While the bridge's height remained the same, its width more than tripled, increasing from 10 feet to 35 feet. The town said this will allow for more boat traffic and improved navigation.
Officials also said the new Pine Tree Lane Bridge is more pedestrian-friendly, with a sidewalk constructed on one side.
The bridge has been closed since Sept. 30, 2024.
