A state grant of more than $530,000 has been awarded to the town to help cover the replacement of an aging bridge on Cooper Lane. The state is providing grants totaling more than $17.3 million for the replacement of several bridges on roads maintained by municipalities. The state Department of Transportation announced the grants this week for 15 projects in Connecticut that will be funded through a state program that fixes bridges on local streets. Municipalities administer all design and construction aspects of their individual projects and the DOT oversees project milestones and provides guidance. The program has provided about $162 million in grants to Connecticut’s municipalities since 2016, according to the DOT.
