According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation, construction work will continue through most of the year on the Route 272 (Litchfield Road) bridge over Hall Meadow Brook in Norfolk.
Hemlock Construction of Torrington submitted the winning bid of $1,107,671.74 in August of 2009. The project consists of the replacement of the bridge and reconstruction of the approaches and will be completed in two stages. Each stage requires the removal of a section of the bridge, reconstruction of the abutments and replacement of bridge deck.
Alternating one-way traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals will be used during construction, which is expected to be completed in November of 2010.
