ADAMS, Mass. — Too Human music group to play "A Celebration of Song - The Great American Songbook and Beyond;" an hour of jazz standards and jazzy bluesy originals at the Adams Free Library on July 18, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
 
This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of the Northern Berkshires, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
 
According to a press release:
 
Too Human are composers and songwriters. As staff songwriters for publishing giant Warner/Chappell Music, they wrote songs for multi-platinum recording artists including Cher, Pat Benatar, Teddy Pendergrass, Angela Bofill, Nancy Wilson, Agnetha Foltskog of ABBA and Martha Davis of the Motels; and for TV shows including Fame, General Hospital, and As The World Turns. But they eventually followed the urge to perform their own songs and formed a band, Too Human. From orchestral compositions to boppy jazz pieces, quirky little snippets and moody vignettes, their music will be enjoyed by all.
 
Library events are free and open to the public.  

Thursday, July 18, 6:00 p.m. Concert Event at Adams Free Library

Adams' Park Street Bridge Weight Restrictions Change

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Traffic patterns downtown are anticipated to change because of the state's decision to downgrade the weight limits for the Park Street bridge. 
 
The state Department of Transportation informed the town of the load rating change for the 16.7-foot girder bridge at the end of January. MassDOT has it listed as "Center Street" bridge.
 
The state-owned bridge, over the Hoosic River, was reconstructed in 1957 and is heavily utilized for traffic on Route 8.   
 
Signage showcasing the weight restrictions will be posted sometime next week and are as follows:
  • two to three axles: 19 tons
  • four to five axles: 21 tons
  • six-plus axles: 22 tons 
  • tractor trailers: 22 tons 
Emergency vehicles will be posted as follows: single axle: 16 tons, tandem axle: 25 tons, and a gross of 35 tons. 
 
Vehicles weighing more will be detoured. 
 
Northbound traffic affected by these restrictions will be routed onto Myrtle Street through Pleasant and Depot streets to reconnect to Route 8 on Columbia Street, Town Administrator Nicholas Caccamo said. 
 
Southbound traffic will be directed onto Lime Street, then North Summer Street, and to Center Street.
