The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the detour of Route 191 in East Windsor will be extended until November 10, 2025. The project was initially designed to temporarily reopen the roadway during the winter of 2024/2025 after utility relocations, before closing again to facilitate the bridge construction, but it is now necessary for the roadway to remain closed for the entire duration of the project. The project 0046-0127 consists of replacing Bridge No. 01524 with a steel beam, reinforced cast in place concrete deck superstructure on top of precast abutment stems that rest on cast in place footings with deep foundations. Additionally, the road profile will be raised approximately four feet. The project requires 2 construction seasons to complete. The first construction season is required to relocate all utilities. The bridge and approach roadway work will be completed in the second season.
CTDOT Project No. 0046-0127 was awarded to ROTHA Contracting Co., Inc. at a cost of $9,077,089.26 on September 11, 2023, and is scheduled to be complete by April 2, 2026. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 1 in Rocky Hill.
