American Bridge Company (AB) is rehabilitating the East Haddam Swing Bridge, which carries Route 82 over the Connecticut River and links the towns of Haddam and East Haddam, for the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT). The total project cost is $78.4 million, with the AB contract valued at $55.2 million. Planning for the project goes back several years and CTDOT has held several public meetings to discuss the project. State and federal funds are financing the project. The design was completed in 2021. Construction began in fall 2022 and should be completed in spring 2025. The project was designed by CTDOT and Hardesty & Hanover. Crews were working throughout the winter. “Temperatures don’t get too extreme in Connecticut, and our union labor force is used to working in the elements all year round,” said Hazirjian.
