The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has announced a second virtual public information meeting regarding the replacement of Bridge No. 02112, which carries Route 10 over an unnamed brook in Avon. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. and will be held on Zoom. Registration is required to attend.
The session aims to provide local residents and stakeholders with an opportunity to comment or ask questions about the proposed bridge replacement project. Following the presentation, there will be a question and answer period, and the entire meeting will be recorded. Information on how to access the meeting and submit feedback can be found at http://portal.ct.gov/DOTAvon0004-0136.
“The purpose of the meeting is to present additional Complete Streets elements introduced to the project that will ensure safety improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists on Route 10 between the Talcott Notch Road and Old Farms Road intersections,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation, Francisco Fadul. “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
According to CTDOT, right-of-way impacts are anticipated as part of this project. These may include partial property acquisitions, slope easements, drainage rights of way, temporary construction easements, and other rights.
Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027. The estimated cost for replacing Bridge No. 02112 is about $7 million. Funding for this project will come from both federal and state sources, with federal funds covering 80% of costs and state funds covering the remaining 20%.
