“These projects will replace two existing bridges with longer single-span structures to improve safety and extend the lifespan of both bridges,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Marc Byrnes. “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
There are right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements in the form of temporary construction easements to provide areas for construction activities.
Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for Project No. 0022-0107 is approximately $2.095 million. The estimated construction cost for Project No. 0022-0108 is approximately $1.55 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
