July 29, 2026
State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton) announces the state’s commitment of $1,142,750 through the Department of Transportation’s State Local Bridge Program to aid bridge replacement efforts in New Canaan.
“Our local infrastructure gets us where we need to go, but it needs to be properly maintained to keep our communities safe,” said Sen. Maher. “I’m grateful for the state’s investment in New Canaan and thank Governor Lamont and state leaders for their continued support.”
The funding will specifically support the replacement of the bridge carrying Lakeview Avenue over an unnamed stream.
Established in 1984, Connecticut’s State Local Bridge Program helps towns and cities upgrade and maintain approximately 4,200 bridges statewide. Over the past decade, the state has invested around $180 million in grant funding for bridge support.
