The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced on Apr. 15 that it is developing plans to rehabilitate the bridge carrying Route 67 (Bank Street) over the Naugatuck River in Seymour.
The project will include replacing the superstructure and repairing the substructure to improve the bridge’s condition. The department said design work is expected to finish by September 2029, with construction anticipated to begin in spring 2030, pending project approval, funding availability, and required permits. Funding for this project will come from both federal sources at eighty percent and state sources at twenty percent.
According to the official website, Garrett Eucalitto serves as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Transportation, overseeing policies and initiatives according to the official website. The department maintains its headquarters in Newington and manages transportation services throughout Connecticut according to the official website.
CTDOT said it aims to keep residents informed about major projects and encourages community input during development. “It is CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with CTDOT to assist in the project’s development,” according to a statement from CTDOT.
The department supports safety through initiatives like work zone awareness programs and promotes community infrastructure improvements via grants according to its official website. CTDOT also provides a safe and efficient intermodal transportation network intended to enhance quality of life and support economic vitality statewide according to its official website.
Residents with questions or comments about this project are encouraged by CTDOT officials to contact Gregory Funk, Principal Engineer, referencing State Project No. 0124-0175. Looking ahead, continued public engagement will be sought as planning advances.
