Ellington Officials Considering New Bridge for Strawberry Road

ELLINGTON, CT — Town officials are considering a project to replace the bridge spanning Abbey Brook on Strawberry Road, First Selectman Lori Spielman said Monday.

The project would receive federal funds under the Federal Local Bridge Program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, she said.

If the project is adopted, the design phase would begin in early 2018, with construction likely in 2018 or 2019, Spielman said.

Residents wanting additional information should contact Public Works Director Timothy Webb at 860-870-3140.

The cost of the bridge replacement would receive 80 percent reimbursement from federal aid with the remaining 20 coming from municipal funds, Spielman said.
