The replacement of a tiny, but critical, bridge on North Street has been delayed until next year, the Department of Public Works announced Friday. DPW was expecting to demolish the bridge — and trigger traffic jams — over the summer, but the state hasn’t yet given Greenwich the green light to move ahead with the project. “In a recent coordination meeting with representatives from the grant program, DPW gained greater clarity on the anticipated construction timeline and next steps,” the announcement read. “Based on the latest schedule, construction is projected to begin in Spring 2026.” Greenwich has secured more than $3 million in grant funding from the state Department of Transportation, but the town has not been cleared to start bidding on the project yet. The town has authorized $3.7 million to replace the North Street bridge, most of which will be reimbursed by the state. The delay means the bridge replacement work may overlap with another major road project in the vicinity.
