New signs coming for embattled bridge

THETFORD CENTER—Less than 12 months after new signs went up on an historic covered bridge frequently struck by oversized motor vehicles, an oversized motor vehicle struck the bridge knocking down the new signs.
Sayre Bridge on Tucker Hill Road was damaged earlier this month by a truck passing through that was too large for the covered bridge. According to a Thetford Police Department press release, the bridge was struck on Jan. 14 at 3:22 p.m. by an oversized truck.
