Saugatuck River bridge rehabilitation in Westport planned for summer 2025

More maintenance work is expected to start next summer on the Saugatuck River Railroad Bridge, with construction mainly planned for overnight. The railings and grating will be constructed of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, which weighs less than steel and is corrosion-resistant, project manager Everett Milam said at a virtual meeting about the bridge on Monday. Other track construction and the close proximity to high-voltage lines adds to the project time, Milam said. It is also north of the Norwalk Walk Bridge project, which could change the schedule. The Saugatuck bridge project is expected to start summer 2025, lasting about 12 months and costing between $5 million and $7.5 million, with all of that being state funded.
