Summary
[edit]DescriptionWales Road Bridge Reopened in Brimfield, May 2012 (7211018616).jpg |
Nestled in scenic Brimfield, Massachusetts, the Wales Road Bridge is an important bridge – it provides access to an elementary school, a firehouse, a DPW building, and road users of all kinds. To maintain access across the bridge, MassDOT decided to use cutting-edge bridge elements called NEXT Beams (inset). These special beams are made of concrete and facilitate rapid bridge construction. MassDOT also scheduled the work to occur in two stages, allowing one side of the bridge to be open at all times during construction. This project is a great example of how the $3 billion Patrick-Murray Administration’s Accelerated Bridge Program is using innovation to maximize mobility while improving infrastructure. |

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.

Limitations of template usage
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?. |
