Drivers should once again avoid Interstate 95 in the Norwalk and Westport area this weekend due to the second phase of the Saugatuck bridge replacement project. After a successful northbound bridge replacement nearly two weeks ago, Connecticut’s Department of Transportation will replace the southbound bridge, also by using a lateral slide method, this weekend. Southbound traffic on I-95 will be diverted to the northbound side from 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3, to 6 a.m. Monday, Nov. 6. During that time, the crew will work around the clock to demolish the existing bridge and then slide in the newly constructed bridge. For the project this weekend, CTDOT is encouraging drivers to find alternate routes and to avoid I-95 all weekend, but especially on Sunday afternoon, Morgan said. Using the accelerated lateral slide bridge construction method, CTDOT crews have built the new southbound bridge on stilts next to the existing bridge. On Friday night, the old bridge will be demolished, then the new bridge will be slowly rolled into place on I-95.
