CT DOT Under the Federal Local Bridge Program to Replace 3 Pomfret Bridges

The Federal Local Bridge Program has approved the Town submitted applications for replacement of three Pomfret bridges that are evaluated as critical.  The Federal program will pay 80% of the cost of replacement and the State of Connecticut DOT will pay the remaining 20%.  Taft Pond Road bridge has been approved with preliminary design work already underway.  Actual construction is slated to begin in 2026.  The Bosworth Road bridge has recently been approved.  Preliminary design work will begin soon and construction is slated for 2027.  Single lane closure is expected during construction of the Bosworth bridge as the road is a dead-end.  Day Road bridge is in the pipeline under this same program.

A press release was distributed in November for Taft Pond bridge and can be read here.

A recent press release has been distributed for the Bosworth Road and can be read here.
