The proposed bridge would restore an important pedestrian crossing over the salt marsh and help reduce erosion caused by people crossing during low tide. Design and permitting are expected to take about one year, with construction potentially completed within two and a half to three years. The committee also reported that Weymouth collected approximately $378,000 through Registry of Deeds fees but expects about $200,000 in matching funds.
