Three Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) projects won regional awards in the 2025 America’s Transportation Awards competition, sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Twenty-six transportation projects were submitted by seven states and the District of Columbia in the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials (NASTO) region for this year’s competition. Projects are judged in four categories: Quality of Life/Community Development, Operations Excellence, Best Use of Technology and Innovation, and Safety. On May 2, 2024, a collision involving a flatbed tractor trailer and a tanker truck carrying 8,500 gallons of fuel on Interstate 95 led to a fire that engulfed the Fairfield Avenue Bridge in Norwalk, Connecticut, for nearly two hours, heavily damaging the two-span structure. After the reopening, reconstruction of the bridge began. The emergency replacement project was awarded to Yonkers Contracting Company, Inc., of Yonkers, New York.
