"This project will replace vital structural components of the existing bridge to extend its service life and improve safety for all roadway users," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Brianna Ritacco. "We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design."

Right-of-way impacts are not anticipated.

Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2030, based on the availability of funding, acquisition of possible future rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $17 million, anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
