Ahead of what is expected to be a record tourism season on Cape Cod, the Sagamore Bridge was reduced to one lane in each direction on Monday for what could be weeks of maintenance on the aging canal crossing.
Itâs the second time in three years that the bridgeâs owner, the US Army Corps of Engineers, has closed lanes on the bridge to take on around-the-clock spring maintenance and repairs. The lane closures will remain in place until contractors complete the work, which includes repairs on steel supports and lighting equipment. The Army Corps has not provided a set date for when that will be, except to say the project will be finished by Memorial Day â typically the launch of tourism season on the Cape.

Editorial: CT must catch up with times on voting
There shouldn’t be anything partisan about voting rights. In an ideal world, expanding the franchise would be seen as a basic political goal of all parties, with a corresponding need to sell your ideas to an increasingly more diverse array of voters each election cycle.
We’re far from an ideal world, and partisanship is unavoidable even in otherwise unremarkable events. As a result, the move to make voting easier has been embraced by one side of the political aisle and demonized by the other. It’s a trend that is playing out nationally but one to which Connecticut is not immune.
