CTDOT is Developing Plans to Rehabilitate Route 63 Whalley Ave Over West River in New Haven

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to rehabilitate or replace Bridge No. 01031 carrying Route 63 (Whalley Ave) over West River in New Haven.

The project involves rehabilitation or full bridge replacement with new structure to bring the structure to a state of good repair.

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in February 2030, with construction anticipated to start in the fall of 2030 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 eighty percent (80%) federal and twenty percent (20%) state funds.

It is CTDOT's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with CTDOT to assist in the project's development. If anyone has any questions or comments on this project, contact Gregory Funk, Principal Engineer, at (860) 594-3214 or by e-mail at [email protected].
