Summary
Sixteen point eight million dollars in state grants is set to transform thirteen bridges across eleven towns, ensuring safer roads and reliable travel for everyone. Since 1984, the State Local Bridge Program has been a vital lifeline, with the state covering half the cost while towns handle design and construction under DOT oversight. Governor Lamont stressed the importance of safe bridges for daily life, education, and family visits. With over four thousand local bridges needing attention, this latest funding is part of a broader $180 million state investment this year. Towns like Fairfield and Stamford are getting major support to replace aging structures or rehabilitate existing ones — all aimed at keeping communities connected, commerce moving, and travel stress-free.
