About
Cape Cod Bridge is a website and email list. We track the rebuild of the Bourne and Sagamore bridges. The project takes eleven years and costs $4.5 billion. That’s the biggest building project in the Cape’s history.
We read the long, technical reports from MassDOT, the Army Corps and the Cape Cod Commission so you don’t have to. Then we explain what matters in plain English. Every week.
Cape Cod Bridge is not a government website. We are not affiliated with MassDOT, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or any contractor working on the project. For the most current information, always check the primary sources we link to.
Who runs it
A small group of Cape Codders. We’re locals, not journalists, who got tired of refreshing six different websites for project updates. So we read the documents and write the summary for the rest of the Cape.
How we work
- Every fact links to a primary source. We always show our work.
- We summarize, we don’t republish. Read our brief, then click through to the original.
- If we make a mistake, we fix it in place with a dated correction note. Same channel where the error went out.
