Will Old Sign Still Be On New Bridge?

From Dave Brigham:

After 118 years in service to Boston, the North Washington Street Bridge is being replaced. "The bridge has been considered structurally deficient since 2003," according to Wikipedia, "when the center two lanes were permanently closed." Built in 1900, the bridge once carried the Charlestown Elevated Railway, in addition to vehicle traffic.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts last year began a five-year project to replace the bridge, which obviously will make traffic between Boston's Charlestown and North End neighborhoods potentially nightmarish until completion.

Here's a video showing the current bridge and its future replacement:

I wonder if the new bridge will still feature this sign:

"PATROLMAN CORNELIUS F. REGAN

KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY

JANUARY 13, 1898"

Boston has changed so much in recent years, with new buildings rising in just about every neighborhood, and an entirely new neighborhood sprouting in what is now called the Seaport District. Still, the city does a pretty good job of installing plaques marking historic sites, so I'm hopeful the powers-that-be will put this one back in place.
