Curious about what’s going on with the Derby-Milford Road Bridge Project? Work began at the end of July. Here’s an update from Robert H. Brinton, Jr., Director of Public Works / Town Engineer.
The bridge abutments are nearly complete and beams are scheduled to be installed the first week of December.
Due to several construction delays, including obtaining state approval for traffic signal modifications necessary to close the road, problems with the valves installed to shut off the water main over the bridge, and installation of the bridge support piles taking longer than anticipated, the bridge will not be ready to reopen to traffic on November 30, as originally projected.
Bridge construction work will continue into December, and the bridge will be reopened to traffic if weather and temperature permit completion. If not, the bridge will remain closed to traffic over the winter and work will be completed in the spring.
