Wood Bridge connecting Brunswick and Topsham has been replaced, its story isn’t ending—it’s being reimagined. 🎨 The nonprofit Brunswick Public Art is planning a unique public art installation that will incorporate pieces of the original bridge into a new sculpture at the site. This project will honor the bridge’s long-standing role in connecting our communities and preserving an important piece of local history. The sculpture will be designed by Seattle-based artist Laura Haddad (a Bowdoin College alum) and constructed by Tom Drugan, bringing both national experience and local connection to the project. 💡 The estimated 0,000 project will be fully funded through private fundraising by Brunswick Public Art, and once completed, the sculpture will become a permanent public asset owned by the Town of Brunswick. This is an exciting opportunity to preserve a meaningful piece of our past while creating something new for future generations to enjoy. Stay tuned for updates as this project moves forward! #BrunswickME #fjwbridge".
