General notice to the residents of east Tangiers districts 4, 5, and 10

As many of you I’m sure are aware, construction resumed today on the bridge linking east Tangiers with the rest of the muncipality of Tangiers. Rumors have been circulating since last Spring that the project would forever remain aborted. This is categorically untrue and was never even an option.

The project was halted due to a complex of circumstances including sudden disappearance of key project staff, an unexpected budgetary drop and the accidental collapse of a central support column.

The project resumes today, with the funds needed to finish the bridge pledged by the government and various philanthropic locals. Missing members of the key staff have all been rounded up or replaced. And soon you shall all see that collapsed support column rise like a reborn tower of Babel.

We do apologize for the return of the construction noises, but I’m sure you all understand: these sleepless nights and early mornings you suffer are for all of us.

Here’s to a grand and connected future for Tangiers.
