EAST MARLBOROUGH: Fine-tuning the bridge over the Red Clay

A faithful reader notes with approval that East Marlborough's road crew has replaced the "ugly, if practical, steel guardrails on the northeast end of the Mill Rd, bridge over the West Branch of the Red Clay, at the intersection of Mill and Wollaston roads. That steel guardrail was there for several months and sort of marred the appearance of the otherwise handsome wood and iron bridge."
He said he was happy to hear that the shiny steel guardrail has now been replaced "with an attractive wooden guardrail.  It looks very nice. We'll see how long it lasts...  hah!"
