The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to rehabilitate bridges on Route 15 in New Canaan.
The purpose and need of this project is to address the structural deficiencies of Bridge Nos. 05810 and 05811 by rehabilitating the structures and providing safe travel for all facility users. These are the bridges carrying Marvin Ridge Road and Lapham Road over Route 15 in New Canaan.
The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in September 2028, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2029, 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 80% federal and 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 shares its concerns with CTDOT to assist in the project's development. If anyone has any questions or comments on this project, contact Gregory A. Funk, Principal Engineer, at (860) 594-3214 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Please make reference to State Project No. 0089-0132.
