Crews are busy constructing a new bridge to replace the one over Saugatuck Avenue, a project that has been in the works for years. The work is part of a larger Interstate-95 improvement project between exits 16 and 17 along the Norwalk, Westport line to make it safer for drivers. The total cost for the project is about $104 million, with the Federal Highway Administration covering 90 percent and the state covering the other 10 percent, according to the project website. The work includes adding or reconstructing shoulders, replacing or rerouting drainage structures, adding better lighting and an incident management system, and installing new guide rails with wet reflective pavement markings to make it easier to see. The overall I-95 project will also repair the concrete decks of the bridges over Franklin Street and the Saugatuck River, as well as replace the expansion joints and install new standpipes, Burnham said.
