The bridge on Cedar Heights Road in Stamford is open to two-way traffic after numerous delays. The bridge was rated to be in “serious” condition before it was closed, according to data from the Connecticut Department of Transportation. A “serious” grade is defined as a bridge with “major defects; strength and/or performance of the component is seriously affected.” A bridge with this grade also calls for “more frequent monitoring, load restrictions and/or corrective actions.” The project to replace the bridge on Cedar Heights Road cost $2,773,082, according to the city’s website. Eighty-percent of that money came from the federal government, officials said, while the remainder came from the city. Also, the bridge on Wire Mill Road was closed May 19 for construction to begin work on its replacement, according to the city’s website.
