The Bourne and Sagamore bridges have been the gateway to Cape Cod since 1935.

Today on The Point, we talk with Luisa Paiewonsky from MASS DOT about next steps in the process to replace the Sagamore and Bourne Bridges. MASS DOT is requesting proposals for design/build on the Sagamore and has submitted a $1billion grant proposal to the federal government for the Bourne Bridge.
