"This project will address the poor condition of the current structure by designing a new bridge that meets all current design and load standards, improving safety for all roadway users," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Engineer Michelle Rame. "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 associated with the proposed improvements include partial permanent takes, drainage ROW, and permanent slope easements on a total of three properties.

Construction is expected to start spring 2027, depending on funding, right-of-way acquisition, and permits. The estimated cost is $4 million, with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
