Stafford - replacement of an existing approx. 60' long, 3.5'X3' stone box clapper culvert under CT route 19 (east street).

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $200,000 to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) on July 9, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to replace an existing approximately 60-foot-long, 3.5-foot by 3-foot stone box clapper culvert located under Connecticut Route 19 (East Street) in Stafford, approximately one-third mile north of Furnace Hollow Road. The culvert replacement project is designed to ensure the continued stability and functionality of the roadway infrastructure.

This formula grant provides federal financial assistance to Connecticut for highway infrastructure preservation and improvement activities, consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to support construction, preservation, and improvement of highways across the United States. The culvert replacement represents a critical infrastructure maintenance activity eligible under the federal-aid highway program, with project administration and oversight conducted by CTDOT in accordance with FHWA stewardship and oversight requirements.
