A handful of residents came to see state transportation officials mark the beginning of an $8.6 million project to restore the town’s “Green Bridge,” a vital piece of infrastructure connecting communities to the west with Hampshire County, and a landmark in town since 1939. 


(Verse 1)
Under the rain, the ribbon's cut, the river hums below,
Steel bones breathing stories that the old ones used to know.
They came with shovels, coffee cups, and memories from the mill,
To see the Green Bridge rise again, between the towns and hill.

(Chorus)
Cummington Bridge, you carry us through,
From the past to the promise, from the gray to the blue.
Eighty years of seasons, frozen time set free,
Cummington Bridge, you still carry me.

(Verse 2)
The welders spark like fireflies, the painters hum along,
The echo of a thousand steps becomes the worker's song.
The west wind whispers gratitude where trucks and wagons rolled,
This span has seen our stories told, in iron, rust, and gold.

(Chorus)
Cummington Bridge, you carry us through,
From the past to the promise, from the gray to the blue.
Eighty years of seasons, frozen time set free,
Cummington Bridge, you still carry me.

(Bridge)
When the snow comes down on Berkshire nights,
And the stars lean low on winter lights,
We'll cross that river slow and strong,
The same way we've been doing all along.

(Outro)
Now the crowd has gone, the river sighs,
A single gull wheels in the sky,
Cummington Bridge, green heart of the land,
Still holding us, hand in hand.
