Clinton - replacement of bridge #06956 which carries country village lane over unnamed brook. No added capacity (PD/FD).

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $450,000 to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) on July 18, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) for the replacement of Bridge #06956 in Clinton, Connecticut. The bridge carries Country Village Lane over an unnamed brook and requires replacement without adding capacity. This project will be administered under the Federal Lands Bridge Program (FLBP) with design management by the state program, following the established formula grant allocation process under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The primary deliverable is the structural replacement of the existing bridge infrastructure to restore safe passage and maintain current transportation capacity. The project encompasses design and construction activities necessary to complete the bridge replacement, with CTDOT serving as the prime state administrator responsible for project oversight, environmental compliance, and coordination with the FHWA division office. Upon project completion, the replaced bridge will restore critical local transportation connectivity while meeting federal engineering, environmental, and safety standards applicable to Federal-aid Highway Program projects.
