Project 0053-0199 Webpage
Welcome to the webpage for Project 0053-0199, Rehabilitation of Bridge No. 00417 (Putnam Bridge), in the Towns of Wethersfield and Glastonbury.
The purpose of the project is to address the structural deficiencies of State Bridge No. 00417 (Putnam Bridge), which carries Route 3 over the Connecticut River, in order to maintain safe travel for all facility users and to maintain a “State of Good Repair.” The project includes repairing or replacing deficient structural members, improving the condition rating of all structural elements to “satisfactory” (6) or better, concrete deck patching, and installing a new waterproofing membrane and overlay.
Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed project are not anticipated.
Construction is anticipated to begin Spring 2026 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
A Virtual Public Information Meeting (VPIM) was held for the project on April 4, 2024. The recording of that event can be accessed at the Virtual Public Information Meeting Video Library.
