Information Session Set For Hanson Road Bridge Replacement

DARIEN, CT — The Darien Department of Public Works will hold a public information session on Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m., on the Hanson Road bridge replacement.

The hearing will be held in the Darien Town Hall Auditorium. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

The Board of Selectmen in November approved a little over $2 million to fund the replacement of the Hanson Road Bridge, which could take about five months to complete in 2024. Around half of the cost will be covered by a state program for bridge work.

The western bridge abutment at the Hanson Road Bridge was found to be compromised in July 2022, and temporary repairs were made, Darien Department of Public Works Director Ed Gentile told the selectmen. But the bridge needs to be replaced in full.
