The iconic Frank J. Wood Bridge, a beloved landmark connecting Brunswick and Topsham, has been replaced, but its legacy will live on through a stunning new sculpture. The town of Brunswick has chosen a design that incorporates pieces of the old bridge, ensuring its memory endures. The sculpture, crafted from repurposed steel, will be a testament to the bridge's rich history and the community's commitment to preserving its past. This project, estimated to cost $250,000, will be funded through private fundraising by Brunswick Public Art, and once completed, it will become a cherished public asset owned by the town. The artist behind this masterpiece is Laura Haddad, a talented graduate of Bowdoin College, who will collaborate with Tom Drugan, a landscape architecture master from Harvard University. This initiative is a beautiful way to honor the bridge's legacy and create a lasting symbol of the town's heritage.
