Rehabilitation work on the 112-year-old East Haddam Swing Bridge on Route 82 is finally complete. The $88.8 million project was funded through $70 million in federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law money, and 20% in state funds, according to the governor’s office. Gov. Ned Lamont, DOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto and U.S. Congressman Joe Courtney were on hand Tuesday morning at Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam to herald the project’s end. Construction began in September 2022. The bridge was upgraded with new mechanical and electrical systems, substructure repairs, and a new sidewalk connecting the communities, it continued. Work on the structure, which connects the towns of Haddam and East Haddam over the Connecticut River, involved a major rehabilitation of the structural, mechanical, and electrical components of the bridge, the state Department of Transportation said.
