A group of 20 American flags that were installed on the Post Road bridge over the Mianus River last month and then were taken down due to weather have been re-installed. Members of the Byram-based Masons Acacia Lodge 85 and the Cos Cob Volunteer Fire Company paid for the flags and installed them on Veterans Day, but they were temporarily taken down due to torrential rains several weeks ago. The flags are now back on the bridge after volunteers installed sturdier brackets on Wednesday. The flags are expected to remain on display until late December to welcome home a local servicemen currently deployed overseas.
The flag display came together after a constituent brought up the idea to Selectman Dave Theis. The selectman then obtained permission from the town'sDepartment of Public Works, funding from members of the lodge and installation assistance from the volunteer firefighters, to make it happen.
Other towns, including Westport, have decorated their town bridges in a similar fashion, which was part of the inspiration behind the idea, organizers said.
