The 1,800-foot bridge is getting a full structural upgrade: new deck, joints, lighting, bearings, and reinforced foundations to handle heavier loads like emergency vehicles. The State Street on-ramp will stay closed the entire time, while nighttime closures hit I-91 southbound 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., and daytime closures affect Whitehead Highway ramps 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Weather may delay work, and with Stage 1 already underway since March 2025, crews aim to finish by June 2027. Plan ahead and stay patient—this is a long-term fix for a critical piece of infrastructure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
