The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the implementation of one-way alternating traffic with a signalized intersection for a Bridge Replacement on Route 68 in the vicinity of Sawmill Brook in Durham. This project is scheduled to occur from September 21 and be completed on September 19, 2025. The project #0037-0103 consists of the replacement of Bridge No. 02442 on Route 68 in two stages in Durham. The curb-to-curb width of the roadway at the bridge will be widened to 34 ft to accommodate a 12-foot travel lane and 5-foot shoulder in each direction. Route 68 will be reconstructed to improve a sag curve and allow for stopping sight distance to meet current standards.
CTDOT Project No. 0037-0103 was awarded to New England Road, Inc. at a cost of $1,861,208.00 on August 22, 2024, and is scheduled to be completed on September 19, 2025. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 1 in Rocky Hill.
