Structural Repair Work: Bridge No. 01505 in Bloomfield
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to perform repairs to beam ends and other minor structural work on Bridge No. 01505, Route 187 over Farmington River and Tunxis Avenue in Bloomfield. The purpose of the project is to address structural deficiencies primarily related to deteriorated beam ends, but also includes cleaning and painting beam ends, replacing bearings, repairing weep holes, replacing bridge joints, and reconstructing deck ends.
The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in July 2025, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2026, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding, and receipt of any required right-of-way and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with both Federal and State funds.
It is the CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when projects are undertaken. However, given the nature of the work being routine maintenance and the minimal temporary and permanent impacts expected under this project, CTDOT recommends that a public information meeting will not be needed.
If anyone has any questions or comments on this project, they are encouraged to contact Derick M. Lessard, Transportation Principal Engineer, at (860) 594-3216 or by e-mail at Derick.Lessard@ct.gov.
Please refer to State Project No. 0171-TBD non-Interstate.
