Devon Bridge Receives $245.92 million In Federal Funding For Repairs

MILFORD, CT ? The Devon Bridge is getting repairs after funding was approved by the Northeast Corridor (NEC) Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program.

The Devon Bridge Replacement Project is part of a larger $2 billion federal funding bill from the Bipartisan Infrastructure law for Rail Projects benefiting projects across the state.

For the Devon Bridge Replacement Project, the $245.92 million in funding will provide a safe and reliable bridge crossing for rail over the river and marine navigation under the rail.

?These upgrades being announced today will ensure that rail infrastructure will continue to be recognized as a critical component in statewide and regional transportation,? U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) said.
