The town is now one step closer to the replacement of Merryall Road bridge — which has been identified as one of the worst five bridges in Litchfield County and classified as being in “poor condition.” New Milford hired WMC Consulting Engineers in Newington to provide the design of the bridge and associated roadway and site improvements, along with the evaluation of additional alternative studies for the bridge replacement. Elder said for next year, the cost of construction is approximately $4.3 million — funding will be 50 percent from the state and 50 percent from the town. He said construction is expected to take seven months, to start April 1, 2023 and be finished on Nov. 30, 2023. A public hearing on the Merryall Road bridge’s replacement will continue at the Inland Wetland Commission’s next meeting on Dec. 8 at 7 p.m.
