Patrick McLaughlin, director of Public works in Norwich, said it’s important for Norwich to have well-maintained bridges. McLaughlin said work on the Sunnyside Street Bridge in Yantic is expected to start on April 13. He describes the project as a rehabilitation project, preserving many of the existing features. The project cost is currently around $1.49 million. The contractor, Mattern Construction Inc., has 196 calendar days to complete the project. The City of Norwich is also looking forward to a larger bridge project in the future, being the replacement of the Sherman Street Bridges in 2022. The total cost of this project is $10 million, most of which will be paid by the federal government.
