River Restoration Project in Wellfleet & Truro is to restore a healthy,
functioning salt marsh by replacing the Chequessett Neck Road dike with an open
bridge. This will let more salt water
into the River from Wellfleet Harbor. The
amount of water exchanged will be increased slowly over several years so that
the River can be monitored. </span></p>
