Summary
| Description |
The Brightman Street Bridge takes shape over the Taunton River between Fall River and Somerset. The existing bridge carrying Route 6 in the background dates to 1906. It carries 45,000 cars daily and because of lack of clearance must be opened often, causing traffic congestion. The new bridge is a double leaf bascule or movable bridge that will carry the relocated Route 6 while providing 60 feet clearance above the water and 200 feet in horizontal opening from side-to-side, to the benefit of traffic above and below. The project began a decade ago and is one of the largest bridge projects in Commonwealth history. The $186 million contract, the largest and final of four separate contracts to build the bridge, is now in progress, with work continuing on the bascule girders that will allow opening of the bridge span. Completion of the bridge is scheduled for fall 2012. |

Definition of "public record"
Public records are defined in A Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, Published by William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Division of Public Records, (Updated January 2017) at https://www.mass.gov/files/2017-06/Public%20Records%20Law.pdf on page 40, under M.

This is consistent with the statement at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ARC/arcres/residx.htm:
Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise. See: Government-in-the-Sunshine Manual: To what extent does federal law preempt state law regarding public inspection of records?. |
