(Town Council Orders 20-069 and 20-072)
The Smelt Brook Culvert replacement & daylighting project has regional benefits to both Braintree & Weymouth through protection of the Smelt Brook and its connection to the Weymouth Fore River tidal basin. Opening (daylighting) of the Smelt Brook creates a public area to watch migratory fish and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The project also maintains critical flood control/storm water storage for the Braintree-Weymouth Landing Area in conjunction with past measures undertaken by the federal Army Corps of Engineers.
