The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced the full replacement of three bridges over Interstate 91 in Wallingford, a project that will develop over the next several years. The projects still need to go out to bid through a proposal request, but are anticipated to begin construction in spring of 2028 and completed around 2030. For the bridges, the roadways will be slightly reduced in size, with more of the roadway space designed to accommodate sidewalks and paved shoulders to create safe passage for bicycles. East Center St. will undergo the most significant work, eliminating the 11-foot painted median and moving both travel lanes closer together, making room for the paved shoulders and a new concrete sidewalk. In total, the construction is anticipated to cost $60 to 90 million, with 80% of the cost shouldered by federal funds while the remaining amount is subsidized by the state.
