Project 0022-0107-108 Webpage
Welcome to the webpage for Project 0022-0107, Replacement of Bridge No. 04600, Woodchuck Hill Rd over Little River and State Project No. 0022-0108, Replacement of Bridge No. 05413, Tracy Rd over Kitt Brook, in the Town of Canterbury.
The purpose of these projects is to address structural deficiencies and substandard elements to bring each structure to a state of good repair. Project No. 0022-0107 will consist of replacing the existing structure with an AASHTO Concrete Box Beam superstructure on semi-integral abutments. The replacement structure would have a 54-foot clear span and 26-foot curb-to-curb width consisting of 11-foot travel lanes and 2-foot shoulders. There will be open metal bridge rail over the structure and new bituminous overlay. All utilities will be temporarily relocated during the project. There is a 4 mile detour proposed for the duration of construction and consists of Hanover Road, Woodchuck Hill Road and John Brook Road. Project No. 0022-0108 will consist of replacing the existing structure with an AASHTO Concrete Slab Beam superstructure on abutments on rock. The replacement structure would have a 35-foot clear span and 24-foot curb-to-curb width consisting of 10-foot travel lanes and 2-foot shoulders. There will be open metal bridge rail over the structure and new bituminous overlay. All utilities will be temporarily relocated during the project. There is a 2.2 mile detour proposed for the duration of construction and consists of Tracy Road, Westminster Road, Lisbon Road, Bennett Pond Road and Cross Road.
There are right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements in the form of permanent channel grading easements and construction easements for both projects.
Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring of 2026 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permits. The estimated construction cost for Project 0022-0107 is approximately $2,095,000 and estimated construction cost for Project 0022-0108 is approximately $1,550,000. These projects are anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
