Building a Resilient Trail
This report provides on guidance on ways to adapt the Shoreline Greenway Trail to the increasing frequencies of heavy rain, wildfires, hurricanes, flood events, and storm surges. The report defines what we mean by resilience for a trail in coastal Connecticut, identifies climate impacts facing the trail now, and in the years to come, shares design suggestions that could build resiliency on existing and new sections, and explores how the trail itself can be essential to wider community resiliency.

CTDOT State Local Bridge Program
Construction and maintenance of Connecticut’s approximately 4,200 bridges and culverts is the responsibility of the cities and towns who own them. As part of the State’s Infrastructure Renewal Program, the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s the Local Bridge Program provides for State grants to municipalities for the removal, replacement, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of local bridges.
To qualify for state funding, a bridge must carry a certified public road, be municipally owned and/or maintained. The bridge must be considered a deficient bridge and must not have a prior commitment from the state – not withdrawn or expired – to fund the project. See the Local Bridge Program Manual (provided at the link) for detailed guidance.

CTDOT Drainage Network Interactive Map
This interactive map published by the CTDOT in March 2025 allows users to view data layers that make up the state-owned and maintained drainage network across Connecticut. Culvert locations are included, as well as their water source, material components, type of conveyance, diameter, length, last inspection date, and maintenance information. Note that an ArcGIS login is required to access this resource.
