In January, the Representative Town Meeting approved $2.47 million to replace the bridge. The project is eligible for funding under the state local bridge program, which allows a 50 percent reimbursement. “Back in 2016 the Connecticut DOT decided to go out for the first time in about 20 years and do a screening for all the bridges in the state that are under 20 feet,” Director of Public Works Pete Ratkiewich said. “When they came to this bridge they found the bridge was in very poor condition.” The project is estimated to start in June and the road over the bridge will be temporarily closed during construction. Residents will be notified of the closure and additional detour routes in news releases.
