OSSIPEE — Ossipee selectmen on Monday said the state had to return nearly $700,000 to the federal government for the replacement of the Whittier Bridge, which has been out of service since 2008.
The town-owned covered bridge sits off of Nudd Road, which is off Route 25. When it was in service, it spanned the Bearcamp River. If put back, it would connect Nudd Road and Covered Bridge Road, off Route 16.Â
