Motorists, cyclists, runners and walkers who enjoy the view of Norfolk’s iconic snake fence on Mountain Road will soon need to find an alternate path to Westside Road or destinations accessed from further along Mountain Road, among them the Curling Club and the Norfolk Country Club. Starting in early April, crews from Dayton Construction will begin the $2.3 million replacement of the bridge over Spaulding Brook, which is located just shy of the intersection with Westside Road. Detour signs were erected around Norfolk during the week of March 17. Two large maples and several other trees were also removed. First Selectman Henry Tirrell expects the work to be complete by November—if not earlier. The total cost of the project, including engineering and inspection fees, is expected to come in under $3 million. It will be fully reimbursed by the state Department of Transportation, but Norfolk will seek a $1 million grant or revenue anticipation note to manage cash flow. Tirrell said the state, which has streamlined its processes, hopes to turn around invoices within 60 days.
