New Haven’s Grand Avenue Bridge to close Monday for $22 million construction project

The city announced that the Grand Avenue Bridge in Fair Haven will close for construction Monday, allowing for “significant structural improvements.” The bridge is expected to remain closed for approximately 610 days, Mayor Justin Elicker and other officials said in a release. The $22 million project is expected to completely replace the mechanical and electrical systems, as well as the approach spans, blast paint the center span, rehab the control house, install two new foundations on the land side, replace the bridge deck and repair the masonry substructure. City Engineer Giovanni Zinn said the “improvement will rehabilitate many original components from 1898 and prepares the bridge for future conditions through a more resilient design.”
