Eastford bridge work is scheduled for April 2027

Eastford’s First Selectman reports that changes in CTDOT reimbursement procedures and town contracts mean participating towns must finance project stages before seeking reimbursement. The town has advertised for a financial advisor and is exploring a line of credit to protect cash flow. Construction of the Ashford Road bridge over Bigelow Brook is currently scheduled to begin April 1, 2027, with detours to be posted later. The Old Colony Road bridge is expected about a year afterward, but the financing approach and schedule may change.
