A dispatcher just notified the Bethany Volunteer Fire Department that the Bethany Center Bridge has reopened.
The old bridge was built in the 1930s and in recent years had eroded into a crumbling, rusting eyesore. It was replaced this summer with a new $1.4 million span by the Department of Transportation.
