Cheshire Assistant Town Manager Andrew Martelli said Tuesday the schedule for replacing the bridge abutment will start with public meetings next summer, with the project going out to bid in January 2027. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027 and completed in late fall 2027. The estimated cost of the project is $2.5 million, including the design. Cheshire’s bridge project was one of 15 chosen by the state, with a total of $17.3 million in grants announced Monday.
