WILTON — The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved funding last week for several bridge projects in town, including the complete replacement of two and rehabilitation of four others. While the replacement of two bridges and renovations to four others is expected to cost a total of nearly $15 million, the town is only on the hook for about $516,000 as the remainder is being paid through federal and state grants, Public Works Director Frank Smeriglio said. The state inspects bridges every two years and provides a rating system based on their structural integrity. The bridge on Honey Road over the Norwalk River was found to have a reduced weight limit due to deterioration, making it a high priority for the state and enabling the project to be largely covered by more than $6 million in grants. Wilton taxpayers will have to pay about $116,000 for masonry work on the bridge, and Aquarion Water Co. will pay nearly $250,000 to relocate a water main.
