Demolition, site work, paving and new construction of a bridge / tunnel in Cheshire, Connecticut. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a bridge / tunnel; for the construction of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

The existing bridge (circa 1970) located just east of the Mixville Park entrance has been designated for planned replacement. An inspection of the bridge was performed on May 22, 2023 and defects were noted. These deficiencies will need to be examined in further detail to determine the nature of repairs that would be needed to bring the superstructure and abutments into a state of good repair. Some upstream realignment of the channel may be required to improve hydraulics through the bridge. Replacement should occur within the next five years, and this project should be a candidate for partial state reimbursement funding through the CTDOT Local Bridge Program. Given the age and condition of both the superstructure and the abutments, the construction cost for a full bridge replacement has been prepared. Inland Wetlands and Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) permitting may be required. The expected useful life of a new bridge is 50 years.
