The Town of New Canaan under the State Local Bridge Program is replacing Bridge No. 089012 which carries West Road over the Rippowam River. The work will begin in January 2021 and is expected to extend through July of 2021.
The Bridge is located just North of Turtleback Road. Signage is in place (currently bagged) to redirect traffic. Also attached (and posted here) is the detour plan for clarity.
795 West Road is the last house before the bridge. Any higher number will need to be accessed from the North.
The new bridge will reduce the frequency overtopping of the roadway, and the bridge will pass the 50-year design flood event. The project also includes sight line improvements and has been designed aesthetically to fit into the surrounding areas.
