Larz Anderson Bridge, Damaged by vandals, will not be repaired until late this summer at the earliest.
A Metropolitan District Commission engineer said yesterday that plans are now being made to fix the bridge, but a contract probably will not be let out for bidding before July 1.
For more than a year, according to Lieutenant Joseph S. Hayes of the MDC Police, vandals have been pushing the cement capstones from the walls of the bridge into the Charles. They have also knocked out a few small columns which line the steps connecting the bridge to the bank of the charles, he said.
Hayes explained that measures have not bee taken to stop the vandalism because the MDC Police cannot spare man power to watch the bridge 24 hours a day.
