It's a little tougher to get to Fairhaven from Mattapoiset and Rochester after Mattapoisett's Acushnet Road has been closed.

The road closure is about 500 feet from the Fairhaven line. There is a very old, small stone box culvert that contains water running off from the Tinkham Pond. According to a press release from the Town of Mattapoisett, there is a safety concern after an inspection from a Bridge Engineer deemed the stones in the roadway as "shaky".

The town is looking into a temporary bridge so that the road can be reopened.
