Project 0028-0208 Webpage

Welcome to the webpage for Project 0028-0208, Rehabilitation of Bridge Nos. 03395 & 03396, Route 2 WB & EB over Route 85, in the Town of Colchester.

A virtual public informational meeting for the project will be held on Tuesday, March 19 at 6:30 p.m.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the community an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and allow an open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements. A Q&A session will immediately follow the presentation.

The purpose of the project is to extend the service life of Bridge Nos. 03395 and 03396 by addressing the structural deficiencies, areas of advanced deterioration, and ultimately bringing the bridges up to a state of good repair while also minimizing impacts to Route 2 traffic above and Route 85 traffic below the bridges.

Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed project are not anticipated.

Construction is anticipated to begin Spring 2026 based on the availability of funding.  The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $14,500,000. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
