The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced on Apr. 8 that it is developing plans to rehabilitate Bridge 07086, which carries Interstate 84 over Long Meadow Pond Brook in Middlebury.
The project involves a culvert rehabilitation for the bridge. The department said the design is expected to be completed by June 2029, with construction anticipated to begin in the fall of that year.
