The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is set to hold a virtual public information meeting on March 31, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will discuss the replacement of bridge No. 02112 on Route 10 over an unnamed brook in Avon. The session aims to provide the public and local community with an opportunity to comment or ask questions about the proposed project.
The meeting will be conducted via Zoom, requiring prior registration. A question and answer session will follow the presentation, which will also be recorded. Instructions for accessing the meeting and submitting comments or questions are available at http://portal.ct.gov/DOTAvon0004-0136.
“The purpose of the project is to address the structural deficiencies of the bridge to accommodate safe travel for all bridge users and proper conveyance of the brook water below,” stated Francisco Fadul from CTDOT. He encouraged public participation to gather feedback that could be incorporated into the project's design.
The project is expected to have right-of-way impacts, including partial takes, slope easements, drainage rights of way, temporary construction easements, and rights. Construction is planned to start in spring 2027 with an estimated cost of $3.2 million, funded by 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
