News Greenwich’s yearlong Binney Park bridge replacement project starts in July; prepare for detours

A stone bridge on Wesskum Wood Road in Binney Park needs to be replaced and work is expected to start July 5, according to Greenwich’s Department of Public Works. The project is expected to take a year to complete and traffic will be detoured on Arch Street, Sound Beach Avenue, West End Avenue, Summit Road, Drinkwater Place and Owenoke Way during construction. In addition to the new bridge, there will also be new curbing, a sidewalk on the bridge’s interior, a path connecting to Binney Park trail, decorative crosswalks and accessible pedestrian ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Crews will also widen the bridge so cyclists have better access and parts of Wesskum Wood Road will be repaved. Replacing the bridge is expected to cost $1.67 million, with half the construction and inspection fee to be funded by a State of Connecticut Local Bridge Program grant.
