Brewer Street Bridge in East Hartford now expected to reopen in May due to unanticipated delays

Originally scheduled to reopen in November, construction on the Brewer Street Bridge near the Pratt & Whitney campus has been suspended until the spring due to unanticipated delays and temperature restrictions. The bridge, which spans Pewterpot Brook, closed on May 1. It is now expected to reopen in May 2024. “A gas main, a water main, and several dozen communication conduits had to be relocated between the bridge beams as part of the project,” Town Engineer Douglas Wilson said. Wilson said that the new bridge will span 24 feet, whereas the original bridge was 15 feet. Construction on the bridge is expected to resume in April, as that month is typically the end of the winter shutdown, when temperatures are most favorable for construction.
