Basiliere Bridge project - Haverhill

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is replacing the Private First Class (PFC) Ralph T. Basiliere Bridge in Haverhill.

The Private First Class (PFC) Ralph T. Basiliere Bridge crosses the Merrimack River in the center of Haverhill. Built in 1925, the bridge has reached its 100th year in service. Since, 1972, it has carried the name of PFC Basiliere, Haverhill’s first Vietnam War casualty. Though safe, the bridge has reached the end of its lifespan. Construction of its replacement is expected to begin in late 2025.
