Planned construction work to replace two aging bridges that connect to Cape Cod will create more than 9,000 “high-quality” jobs in Massachusetts, Gov. Maura Healey said Tuesday. Healey and lawmakers gathered in Bourne to formally celebrate the nearly $1 billion in added federal funding for the replacement of the Sagamore Bridge on Cape Cod. Work on the Bourne Bridge is slated to happen after the Sagamore.
