The state Department of Transportation will hold a public informational meeting on July 31 to discuss its $48 million plan to replace the viaduct into the borough. The meeting will be held at Stonington High School at 6:30 p.m. and will include a DOT presentation of the plan and residents will have a chance to ask questions. The changes will help bring the bridge up to state standards, according to a presentation on the town website. The clearances under the bridge at Mathews and Main streets and Cutler Street are also currently below the minimum standard of 14 feet, 6 inches. During construction, one lane of traffic will be open in each direction over the bridge and pedestrian use will still be available either on the bridge or on the Elm Street pedestrian bridge crossing.
