The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing the start of construction on the Boombridge Road Bridge (Bridge 04744), spanning the Pawcatuck River, located in North Stonington, Connecticut and Westerly, Rhode Island. The bridge is owned and maintained by the respective towns.
The project consists of removing and replacing the existing bridge structure, including the reconstruction of the bridge approaches in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The new bridge will consist of a composite cast-in-place reinforced concrete deck and steel plate girder superstructure, with reinforced concrete integral abutments founded on rock-bearing steel piles with a curb to curb width of 24-feet and a length of 122-feet.
DOT Project No. 0101-0112 was awarded to Brunalli Construction Company at a cost of $1,974,629.00 on December 17, 2019, and is scheduled to be completed November 20, 2020.
The bridge will remain closed during construction, and motorists should continue to use alternate routes.
