The Forge Hill Bridge was built in 1921 and is currently considered a ‘non-conforming’ bridge, which means it does not fit the current State of Connecticut DOT requirements for an approved bridge. This bridge is at risk of being closed due to its current condition.
The Forge Hill Bridge replacement project will receive federal funds under the Federal Local Bridge Program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
The project design and planning began in September 2022, with construction likely in 2026 Any concerns that residents have with this project are encouraged to notify municipal officials early in the planning process. Persons wanting additional information can contact First Selectman Tracey Hanson at 860-376-5880.
