Tolland Route 74 bridge reconstruction completed earlier than anticipated

The Route 74 Bridge over the Skungamaug River, near Skungamaug Road reopened for travel on Tuesday — ahead of schedule. “This project was completed ahead of schedule thanks to strong partnerships between (the Connecticut Department of Transportation), the town, and ROTHA Contracting,” Joe Cooper of the DOT said. The project was awarded to the ROTHA Contracting Company, Inc., located in Avon, on Aug. 16. The cost of the project was $4,779,424.50, and was administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 1 in Rocky Hill. Cooper said that tree clearing and installation of access roads were completed in fall 2023, allowing for utility relocations throughout the winter, and that ROTHA Contracting closed the bridge and installed detour signs in May of this year.
