Clinton is participating in the Federal Local Bridge Program (FLBP), administered by the CT Department of Transportation (DOT). The decision to participate was made by the Town Council at the December 20, 2023 meeting, based on the funding opportunity to address infrastructure needs. This program funds 100% of the cost to replace eligible structures. The Town is required to pay upfront costs of construction and would be fully reimbursed. Three structures in Clinton are in the design phase for replacement. They include:
Country Village Lane over an unnamed brook, Ben Merrill Road over an unnamed brook, and Waterside Lane over the Hammock River.
BL Companies and CT DOT will design and manage the projects through construction.
The Waterside Lane project is currently in the design phase. Additional information about the project can be found in the links below.
