The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that the retaining wall repair project on Route 12 in Norwich is scheduled to begin on February 12, 2018.   

The purpose of the project is to provide a permanent fix to the structurally deficient retaining wall.  The existing dry stacked stone retaining wall will be replaced with a combination of a precast concrete block wall and an earthen slope to support the roadway.  A portion of the existing sidewalk will be replaced and a protective fence will be installed. 

The contract was awarded to Baier Construction Company, Inc. of Bloomfield, Connecticut at a cost of $496,926.00 on December 12, 2017, and is scheduled to be completed in June 2018.
