The construction work to fully replace the “structurally deficient” Van Car Road bridge is underway, while the work to replace the Sand Road bridge is expected to start in mid-June, according to officials from New Milford’s Public Works Department. “Both of these replacement projects will make the roadways safer for commuters as well as provide resilience for the future to prevent flooding,” said Chuck Ballard, the roads design engineer for New Milford’s Public Works Department. The Sand Road bridge sees average daily traffic of 477 vehicles. It was deemed “structurally deficient” at its last inspection on Oct. 23, according to data from the Public Works Department. The town is coordinating with the state Department of Transportation on both projects, Ballard said.
