As work begins on the second stage of the $46 million rehabilitation of the Arrigoni Bridge, motorists can expected a traffic shift starting the week of Dec. 14. “The construction stage shift consists of placing a temporary concrete barrier on Route 17/Route 66 to facilitate work on the center lanes of the Arrigoni Bridge approach-spans,” the state Department of Transportation said in a statement. The project was awarded to Mohawk Northeast, of Plantsville, at a cost of $46,289,385. The work was broken down into separate projects: $3.25 million for adding four more lanes to the roadway that leads to the Arrigoni Bridge into Portland and also allows access to the downtown, and $43 million worth of repairs to the 82-year-old bridge.
