The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the replacement of the Bridge Maintenance Facility in Franklin which will begin on April 28, 2024. The existing bridge maintenance facility in Franklin which supports maintenance operations was erected circa 1956 with no major renovations since. By today’s standards, the facility is functionally obsolete and not in compliance with current fire, safety, OSHA, and ADA codes. This project will construct a new compliant bridge maintenance building, which will consist of approximately 13,310 square feet of bay area including a wash bay, and a 5,005 square foot office area. The new building will be a steel frame construction with exterior steel siding and masonry. Site improvements include the relocation of the existing motor fuel island, installation of a retaining wall, drainage, new pavement parking lot and pavement markings, hooped storage shed and new exterior site lighting. Additionally, a primary storm water treatment basin, dumpster pad and salt shed loading ramp will be installed.
