The Connecticut Department of Transportation is developing plans to mill and pave 4 bridges along Route 6, Route 17A and Inerstate-95 in Eastern Connecticut. This project will be part of the state-wide bridge preservation program as follow up to pavement preservation projects with the purpose of repairing the bridge decks thus extending their service life and keeping the structures in a state of good repair.
The project involves removing the bridge overlay and membrane, the necessary repairs to the bridge deck and applying new membrane and overlay as well as replacing the bridge joints.

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in August 2025, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2026, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding and receipt of any required right-of-way and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with 100% state funds.
