The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that geotechnical subsurface investigations, otherwise known as Soil Borings, will be performed related to the replacement of the Carpenter Lane bridge over I-91 in Wallingford. These soil borings are performed to determine the type of soil, and the depth and location of the rock under the ground surface. This information is used by the project team to design the bridge foundations to be constructed by a contractor. This activity is scheduled to begin the week of July 6, 2026.
This project is being performed by New England Boring Contractors.
