UPDATED: 'Graffiti Bridge' Sandy Hook tribute painted over

The so-called Graffiti Bridge in Brookfield has been painted over.  The overpass at Junction Road and Route 133 hadn't been touched since shortly after 12-14 when the Brookfield High School Peer Counseling group painted a tribute to Sandy Hook. 

 

Brookfield Patch received a statement Housatonic Railroad Company saying that the company did not painted over the tribute on their infrastructure. 

 

“The last time Housatonic forces painted any part of this structure was approximately five years ago when we were called to paint over some offensive graffiti at the request of the town. We are honored to be a part of the communities through which we operate and we were saddened to learn that someone painted over this tribute.”

 

The bridge has traditionally been a place where Brookfield students have spray painted sports accomplishments, graduation messages and the like.  For nearly three years it reminded drivers to "Never Forget S.H.E.S.", with hearts and initials painted along the wall.
