Westfield, MA has been suffering serious crosstown congestion for years, but hopefully tomorrow it will be improved. As of tomorrow, December 1, the original Great River Bridge in Westfield, MA will be re-opening!
I visited the bridge today:
The City of Westfield has been undergoing a massive amount of park and road improvements that have created some challenges for residents as we encounter traffic delays in seemingly every part of town.
There is much progress being made, however, and some very good news on the near horizon.
Firstly, the paving of Main Street is moving right along and will soon be complete. But here is the big news that I found most exciting:
”
Great River Bridge Project:
The contractor laying pavement on the bridge deck. They are continuing on a plan to begin traffic flow going southbound on the renovated bridge during Thanksgiving week – weather permitting.
As a reminder this is a State funded/State controlled project and we are gathering information and moving it out to you as it becomes available.”
Can you believe it folks? We will soon be able to use both bridges…yippee!
The City of Westfield has a wonderful page that provides weekly construction and traffic updates.
Join me on November 13, 2011 for an open house at 555 Russell Road, Unit B7, Westfield, MA 01085 from 11 – 12:30!

Have you been wondering what they are building behind Rocky’s Ace Hardware on Main and Free Streets in Westfield, MA?
Well, it is the NEW Rocky’s Ace Hardware!
I was told this week by an employee that they are hoping to be relocated by December 10th, 2011. The current location will be razed and turned into a parking lot. I took some pictures of the construction and architect’s sketches to help you visualize the end result:
I have been seeing a lot of questions on Facebook and hearing people ask questions on the radio about their losses. One question that kept coming up was, “Is there anyway to recoup the expense of the ruined food that I had to throw away?”
Since I know I threw out several hundreds of dollars worth of food myself, I figured this question would be one that many could use an answer to. I decided to reach out to my friend and insurance agent, Mary Benjamin of Roger Butler Insurance, for the answers.
I asked Mary about the the food loss as well as other homeowners insurance questions that might apply after a catastrophic weather event like the Blizzard of October in Westfield, MA.
To find out if you can get your food losses covered by your homeowners insurance and answers to other concerns that Westfield homeowners might have, watch this video:
