NORWALK — Norwalk residents no longer have to detour around West Cedar Street after officials announced it reopened and the new bridge is completed. Mayor Harry Rilling celebrated the completion of the bridge on Dec. 5 on the city’s Facebook page. Officials said the bridge was demolished in April and construction began shortly after. “This project will enhance resiliency and improve safety for all modes of transportation to improve the quality of life for residents for decades to come,” he said in an email on Dec. 6. “It’s a beautiful site to see and will allow cars to pass more safely.” Woods Matthews said the city secured $5,354,088 in both state and federal funding, which was administered through the Federal Local Bridge Program, for the full bridge replacement. Alfred Benesch & Company, a Glastonbury-based engineering firm, was hired in 2019 as the design consultant for the project.
