Lane Closures Planned On Arrigoni Bridge As Stage 2 Work Begins

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Lane closures will be in effect on the Arrigoni Bridge beginning Dec. 14 as part of the ongoing rehabilitation project in Middletown and Portland, according to officials.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced this week the scheduled transition to Stage 2 construction activities on the Arrigoni Bridge rehabilitation project, beginning the week of Dec. 14.

“The construction stage shift consists of placing a temporary concrete barrier on Route 17 / Route 66 to facilitate work on the center lanes of the Arrigoni Bridge approach-spans,” officials wrote in a news release. “The placement of the barrier will reduce the bridge to one travel lane in each direction, with periodic alternating traffic occurring in the overnight hours.”

Stage 2 is expected to be completed on April 21, followed by Stage 3 activities, according to officials.

“Motorists are urged to remain alert, drive cautiously, and to reduce speeds in the work zone,” officials said.

The $46 million project was awarded to Mohawk Northeast, Inc. in January and is scheduled to be completed Feb. 25, 2022.
