Wilton Bridge Projects Could Close Roads For Over A Year

WILTON, CT — Two bridge replacement projects in Wilton could disrupt traffic and lead to road closures for over a year, according to the town's Department of Public Works.

The town said preparation work will begin the week of March 16 for the replacement of the Honey Hill Road and Cannon Road bridges over the Norwalk River.

As part of the preparation, crews will begin tree cutting and trimming along both roads. Traffic by both bridges may be reduced to one lane with alternating traffic between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The Honey Hill Road bridge, located between Danbury Road (Route 7) and the Metro-North railroad tracks, is expected to close beginning in April 2026 and remain closed for approximately 20 months, pending utility relocation work.

The Cannon Road bridge, located between the Metro-North railroad tracks and Pimpewaug Road, is scheduled to close beginning in June 2026 and remain closed for about 18 months, officials said.

Town officials said overhead utility relocation work will take place after the initial tree-clearing phase.
