CT DOT - Rehabilitation of Bridge Number 02166 Route 337 Over Morris Creek *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document. Bridge No. 02166 supports Route 337 (South End Road) over Morris Creek. The project is located on the border between the town of East Haven and city of New Haven, approximately 1.2 miles south of the intersection of Burr Street and Route 337. Tweed New Haven Regional Airport is located 0.5 miles north of the project location. The existing bridge spans 30 feet with adjacent prestressed deck units founded on masonry abutments. The bridge has a curb to curb width of 30 feet and an out-to-out width of 50 feet. The original bridge was constructed in 1936. The original superstructure was replaced with prestressed deck units in 1971. Bridge No. 02166 carries two 12-foot travel lanes with 3-foot shoulders. The structure also has an elevated concrete sidewalk with granite stone curb outside both lanes. The purpose and need for this project is to address the structural deficiencies of Bridge No. 02166 and extend the service life of the bridge. The proposed rehabilitation consists of repairing the substructure by pressure grouting the spalls and repointing the mortar joints. Any voids in the abutments will be repaired with grout. Roadway construction will consist of milling and paving approximately 150 feet of roadway and replacement of the membrane waterproofing over the bridge. Metal beam rail at the four quadrants of the bridge will be removed and replaced with new rail meeting current guidelines. Slight adjustments to the vertical profile of the roadway will be made to ensure the low point of the roadway is in line with the existing drainage structures. The existing 24-inch RCP, currently discharging through the north abutment, will be removed and a proposed 36-inch RCP will be placed that outlets to the northwest embankment of Bridge No. 02166. A concrete endwall will be placed at the end of the proposed 36-inch RCP. Modified riprap will be placed at the northwest embankment for outlet protection of the proposed 36-inch RCP. There are two existing catch basins to the north of the bridge. The existing catch basin in the west shoulder has a 15-inch RCP that outlets to the northwest embankment where modified riprap will be placed for outlet protection. The existing catch basin in the east shoulder has a 15-inch RCP that outletsto the northeast embankment where modified riprap will be placed for outlet protection. Route 337 traffic will be maintained using one-way alternating traffic during roadway work. Temporary lane shifts and closures will allow roadway work to be performed in stages along the eastern and western halves of the roadway. An on-site mitigation area, provided for CTDEEP approval to offset the permanent tidal vegetation impacted by this project, consists of a 1,500 square foot area on the northwest embankment. Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in April 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of November 2023
