Dear E.T.& L. Corp.,
I live on Central Street where your company just finished the Spring Street/Prospect Street Bridge.

The men were...
Thank you so much to the crew who rebuilt the Prospect Street bridge. It was so exciting to drive over it for the first time yesterday. They worked hard and fast and did an incredible job.

Beautiful job!
Thank you,
