New Date Announced For North Street Bridge Public Information Meeting

GREENWICH, CT — The public information meeting on the North Street Bridge replacement project has been moved from Oct. 7 to Oct. 8.

The Greenwich Department of Public Works will host a hybrid in-person/virtual meeting at 7 p.m. from the Town Hall Meeting room to discuss the project.

Located over West Brothers Brook, which is between Cotswood Road and Macpherson Drive, the bridge was originally built in 1909 and rebuilt in 1950. In March of 2022, the bridge was inspected and emergency repairs were made and a 4-ton weight limit was added.

Greenwich hired WMC Consulting Engineers to create a preliminary bridge design. The estimated project cost is $3 million, which will be 100 percent reimbursed by a Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP) grant. The project is currently in the final design phase, according to the Greenwich Department of Public Works website.

Residents spoke out last month against the project and called for the town to delay work over concerns about the disruption to traffic flow, the construction timeline, and water drainage issues at the site and surrounding areas.

The Zoom link for the Oct. 8 public information meeting can be found here. If needed, the passcode is 8390412.

More information on the project can be found on the Greenwich DPW website.
