Repairs are coming to Stamford’s hurricane barrier, but work won’t begin until at least 2027. Sheandra Sterling, public affairs specialist for the New England district of the Corps of Engineers, wrote in an emailed message that an inspection in 2022 found that the gate at the barrier was misaligned, “making it difficult to open and close.” More specifically, one of the gate’s four hinges was bent, causing the issue. The federal government has provided $22.5 million for the work, Sterling wrote. However, that is not the final budget for the work, she said, as that number will be determined once the design process is completed. She said there is no exact timeline for the repair, but that the Army Corps expects to award a construction contract in 2027.
