The state will launch a two-year, $58.2 million project next spring to overhaul the 108-year-old East Haddam Swing Bridge, which carries Route 82 over the Connecticut River, connecting the town center to neighboring Haddam. Construction is estimated to take approximately two-and-a-half years — from spring 2022 through fall 2024. The project calls for floor beam and deck replacements on span one and two, bearing and joint replacements, substructure repairs, a full replacement of the electrical system, and upgrading the mechanical system, which will make the swing operation “more viable,” he said. At least 14 days’ notice of closures will be given for any construction.
