East Fairfield, September 4, 2008 - Work continues on East Fairfield's Covered Bridge.
      The East Fairfield covered bridge has been removed from over Black Creek. The contractors, Blow & Cote, have disassembled the bridge, stockpiled the components for reuse, and laid out the intact trusses for renovation. The huge I-beams that were used to stabilize the bridge will be removed to the town garage.
