It was an emotional ceremony Saturday as a Route 18 bridge in Weymouth, Massachusetts, was dedicated to fallen police Sgt. Michael Chesna, who was killed in the line of duty in 2018.
State leaders like Gov. Charlie Baker joined city and Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials under a white tent on a rainy Saturday, along with Chesna's family, former colleagues and loved ones, to unveil the brand new sign and officially dedicate the bridge to the fallen police sergeant.
“The loss of Sergeant Chesna is the part that will always stick with me,” Baker said at the ceremony."It speaks to the completely unpredictable nature of the work that men and women in law enforcement do.” "A very special person to this community and to our commonwealth and to our country," Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito said."Michael Chesna was a hero."Sign up for NECN newsletters.
