Old Greenwich’s Sound Beach Avenue bridge replacement complete took $2.5 million and a year of work

The $2.5 million project started in April 2022 and the roadway was completely closed to traffic for three months. After that, traffic was open to just a single lane. Officials from the Greenwich Department of Public Works and the Board of Selectmen gathered at Binney Park on Wednesday to celebrate the project’s completion. The bridge was originally built in 1925 and inspectors found it to be in poor condition five times between 2011 and 2019, which led to the replacement recommendation. The $2.5 million project cost was reimbursed to the town with a grant from the state’s Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program, or LOTCIP. Greenwich is seeking another LOTCIP grant to fund replacement of the North Street Bridge, which is expected to start next year.
