PUTNAM — Mayor Barney Seney announced that the Town of Putnam is contemplating a project to replace the Chase Road Bridge over Cady Brook. The bridge replacement projects would receive federal funds under the Federal Local Bridge Program administered by the state DOT.
If undertaken, the projects design would be expected to begin in 2024, with construction likely in 2027 and 2028.
Seney said local and state policy encourages early information to citizens on such projects and encourages people to raise any concerns with municipal officials early in the planning process. For more info, contact Town Administrator, Elaine Sistare at (860)963-6800, ext. 113.
The cost of the bridge replacement would receive 80 percent reimbursement from federal aid with the remaining 20 percent paid from state funds. The federal aid for the project was authorized under the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” (MAP – 21) and/or “Fixing America’s Surface transportation Act” (FAST) and/or “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act” (IIJA) administered by the Federal Highway Administration and the Connecticut DOT.
