Welcome to the webpage for Project No. 0038-0087, Replacement of Bridge No. 04642 Carrying Old Colony Road over Bungee Brook in Eastford.
A virtual public informational meeting for the project will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. This meeting aims to inform the community about the proposed project, gather feedback, and answer any questions.
The purpose of the project is to replace the bridge due to its existing accumulated sediment and hydraulically substandard substructure. The proposed work will provide the bridge with a 75-year service life. The project will involve approximately 890 feet of roadway reconstruction.
Construction is anticipated to begin spring 2028 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $5 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
Right-of-way impacts will include easements and the rights to reconstruct driveways, and grade and install a sedimentation control system.
