Sharon and Washington to Receive CTDOT Award for Local Bridge Funding
The State Local Bridge Program is a cost-matching grant program that provides 50% of project costs for locally-owned bridges. Towns and cities administer all design and construction aspects of their projects, while the CTDOT oversees project milestones and provides guidance for the municipalities.

The grants approved in this round for current projects include two bridges in the Northwest Corner:

  • Sharon: Replace Bridge #125012, West Cornwall Road over Swamp Brook ($724,500)
  • Washington: Replace Bridge #150012, Walker Brook Road #2 over Walker Brook ($641,000)

Since 2016, the State Local Bridge Program has provided more than $129 million in grants to Connecticut’s towns and cities.
