Through a federally funded project, the town could be extending the life of four of its bridges by several decades. The project, called the Preservation of Four Bridges Project, involves an 80-20 split of funding to repair four bridges in town that are greater than 20 feet. Eighty percent would be covered through federal funds and 20 percent by the Town of Litchfield. Each bridge would cost $600,000 to $800,000 to replace, according to Alexe. As part of the program, however, the bridges will undergo a rehabilitation instead of being fully replaced. There were four bidders on the project. According to Raze, one of the conditions was that it should be a package deal, so there will be one contractor working on all four bridges. The construction is expected to take 240 days, beginning in April 2021 and finishing before next Thanksgiving.
