Comments:
Mixed commercial/residential in village with large cemetery occupying much of RB corridor; difficult to determine true valley wall because aggregate of buildings forms effective valley wall on left bank. Breached dam at grade control and footbridge to cemetery (behind Chelsea House of Pizza) has little remains except low broken concrete abutment on RB and stone wall on LB. Footbridge appears to have been damaged in Irene, abutments rebuilt; FP structure width of 50 reduced to effective width of 44 by sloping abutments.
