Gov. Ned Lamont, state DOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto, Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, Derby Mayor Joseph L. DiMartino, former Valley United Way chair and Derby Historical Society head Jack Walsh and a host of state legislators braved a stiff wind Tuesday morning to celebrate the reopening of the bridge connecting downtown Derby and Shelton. Work on the project began three years ago. The renovation work began in 2021. The final cost to rehabilitate the bridge stands at $12.4 million — 80 percent of which was funded by the federal government. State money covered the remaining 20 percent. The original estimated project cost was $10.3 million. The contract was awarded to Mohawk Northeast, Inc. Construction. The project design was performed by AECOM under contract with the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments.
