Wayland Patch 1/12/12: Residents Learn More About Pelham Island Bridge Construction. The Large Hearing Room of Wayland Town Building could barely hold all of the people who turned out for an informational meeting about the upcoming Pelham Island Road bridge reconstruction. The project, which will replace the one-lane bridge across the Sudbury River, is scheduled to begin in February and to conclude by May 2013. Once construction begins, the bridge will be closed to traffic and access to Pelham Island will be available via Landham Road. Officials anticipate the bridge will reopen in November 2012 even if the project isn’t totally complete until next year. The new bridge is designed to feature two, 10.5-foot lanes as well as a sidewalk.
