The new Sheepscot platform is complete. Brendan and his crew of Joe, Stewart and Zack spent most of this week finishing the wheelchair ramp and railings. A few things remain to be decided including: new lighting for the north end of the platform, lights for the east / back walkway and wheelchair ramp area plus roofing over part of the wide section of the platform.
