The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that the on-ramp from Route 81 to Route 9 northbound in Haddam will be closed for bridge inspection on November 8, 2023, starting at 1:00 p.m. and lasting until 4:00 p.m. The project involves the replacement of bridge joints at approximately 44 bridge locations on Route 9 northbound and southbound, ranging from Old Saybrook to Cromwell. The Bridge Joint Replacement Program will proactively replace bridge deck joints to address the Route 9 corridor from Old Saybrook to Cromwell. Replacing the bridge joints proactively will address failing joints to prevent the intrusion of water and snow clearing materials from leaking onto major bridge components. Additionally, the project consists of deck ends repairs if necessary.
CTDOT Project No. 0105-0216 was awarded to Mohawk Northeast, Inc. at a cost of $4,877,911.60 on December 9, 2022, and is scheduled to be completed November 3, 2023. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 2 in Norwich.
