A $12 million, four-year project to replace Sackett Point Road Bridge, which connects North Haven to Hamden over the Quinnipiac River, is essentially complete, North Haven town officials said. However, inflationary costs have brought the project over its budget, requiring town officials to allocate an additional $3 million in bonding toward paying it off. Despite the board’s approval, the resolution must now go before the Annual Town Meeting on Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. in the North Haven High School auditorium. Freda said the duration of the bridge replacement project is partially due to delays. He said that in the past 18 months, a truck crushed a sewer pipe on the bridge and the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection stopped construction for about four months because of fish migration underneath the bridge. He said there were also times when construction paused due to weather.
