Entrance To Bridgeport City Hall To Undergo Renovation

BRIDGEPORT, CT — The main entrance to the Margaret E. Morton Center, Bridgeport's City Hall, is undergoing a reconstruction that is expected to last 10 months, announced Mayor Joseph Ganim.

Part of the main entrance is slated to be demolished and rebuilt, which is why the project will take close to a year to complete.

"With all the improvements happening in our City, I’m happy that we’re able to tend to our municipal buildings as well," Ganim said in a statement. "My hope is that these improvements will allow for a smoother entrance into City Hall and will be a great way to start off the 2024 year."

From the announcement:

The development includes but isn’t limited to the demolition and reconstruction of the ADA ramp at the main entrance, which allows wheelchair access into City Hall. A temporary ADA ramp will be installed in replacement until the permanent ramp is complete. The project will also include drainage improvement within the front areaways of the building, removal and reconstructing of the existing granite steps that lead into the building, replacement of the main entrance doors of City Hall, demolition of the existing vault framing and slab, backfilling of the existing vault, construction of concrete walls, and reconstruction of the sidewalk.
