State to replace two West Haven I-95 bridges at Interchange 43

The replacement of two bridges on Interstate 95 in West Haven is slated to begin later this summer, officials said. Connecticut Department of Transportation officials held a meeting in West Haven City Hall late last month to discuss plans to replace Bridges 161 and 162, which carry the highway over First Avenue and Metro North railroad tracks near Interchange 43. The department announced this week that the design phase is in progress and construction is slated to begin soon after. The construction is expected to last three years, until 2027. Bridge 162 has been considered structurally deficient for years, with officials estimating in 2021 that the bridge could be replaced by 2025; officials today have added two years to the estimated time of completion.
