Connecticut officials have been able to boast that the state Department of Transportation and its contractor rebuilt a fire-damaged bridge over Interstate 95 five months earlier than expected and about $3 million under budget. And now, they can say the project is a national award winner. A panel of industry experts picked the project — which involved tearing down and reconstructing the Fairfield Avenue overpass in Norwalk after a flatbed tractor-trailer, fuel truck and passenger car crashed in May 2024, resulting in a massive fire but no deaths — to receive the Grand Prize in an annual contest founded by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
