A section of Route 8 in Connecticut is currently under repair. Crews are making improvements to the the Commodore Hull Bridge, which connects Shelton and Derby over the Housatonic River. State inspectors say they found that some parts of the bridge are beginning to deteriorate. Once officials learned of the deterioration, CTDOT signed an emergency declaration to quickly hire contractors to begin working on the project. According to Morgan, the bridge is still safe for travel. However, CTDOT has implemented a 32-ton weight restriction on the bridge to avoid putting any additional stress on it. The bridge will still be open for travel, but different lanes will be closed during different phases of the project. Morgan said it’s too soon to give a timeframe as to when the work will be finished, but CTDOT officials expect construction to continue at least through this month.
