It’s a $591.9 million, multi-year project on a Connecticut interstate. The northbound deck of the Gold Star Memorial Bridge needs to be replaced, and a public information meeting will be held April 30 to provide the details and offer an opportunity for questions. The bridge links New London and Groton across the Thames River on Interstate 95. The project will replace the deck and strengthen the steel superstructure to improve freight travel across the Thames. Construction will begin in summer 2025, assuming funds are available, rights of way are acquired and permits are approved. The estimated construction cost is $591.9 million, including $158.2 million in Bridge Investment Project Grant funds, 90% federal funds and 10% state funds. It is scheduled to be completed in March 2029.
