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. 

Additional Information:
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 The bridge must be considered a deficient bridge and must not have a prior commitment from the state – not withdrawn or expired – to fund the project.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.
