Bath’s plan to build a public downtown riverfront walkway near the Sagadahoc Bridge is finally taking shape after more than 10 years of planning. City councilors voted 5-2 to sign a $1.1 million contract with Hebron-based J. Pratt Construction Inc. to build the first phase of the Riverwalk last week. The project is broken into two sections and slated to be completed this summer. The first phase of the project is funded by tax revenue from Bath Iron Works. Conversations about creating a public riverfront path date back to the 1970s.
