On today’s show, a petition calling for the preservation of the Wheaton Covered Bridge on the High Marsh Road has garnered over 1000 signatures so far. We talk with petition organizer Elita Rahn about why she thinks keeping the 100-year-old bridge is important, even if it means building another bridge to accommodate heavier farm equipment. We also hear from farmers Weldon Estabrooks and Fred Anderson about the impact of the closed bridge, and what they would like to see happen with the Tantramar River crossing.
