WILTON — The Wilton Board of Selectmen approved two bridge projects, each totaling more than $5 million. Last week, the board unanimously approved two state-funded replacement projects for Honey Hill and Cannon Road bridges. The projects are awaiting final approval by the town’s attorneys. Both projects were discussed on Jan. 20 with Director of Public Works Frank Smeriglio, who said the town received the grants around two or three years ago. He said both grants include other incidentals like the design, construction contingencies and inspection services for both projects. “The state requires that there is an inspector on the project eight hours a day, every day,” he said. Smeriglio added that there are also easements and state permits that still need to be completed for both bridges. “Work can’t start until the easements are in place,” he said. “We don’t plan on starting until the beginning of April.”
