OSSIPEE — The Whittier Covered Bridge installation project should be done by the end of the year, Ossipee's town administrator told selectmen Monday. However, a citizen attending the meeting is afraid the federal funds used will give Washington too much leverage over the town.
The bridge has been closed since 2008.
