Notes from the First Selectman
Progress continues on the Ashford Road Bridge over Bigelow Brook. Estimated date of construction is 2027. CHA Consulting and CT DOT have been very communicative and open with the residents and the town regarding plans. This will be a total replacement, so we expect 8 months of road closure and detour. This bridge was built originally in 1937 and is rated as poor. The bridge replacement is grant funded 20 percent by federal or state funds and 80 percent by state funds.
The new town website is going live in the middle of July. We hope this site makes it easier to locate information about Eastford. There are still items that will be added, and department information will be expanded soon.
Upgrades have been done at Crystal Pond Park and the Ivy Glenn using STEAP grant funds. We hope to have all scheduled work completed in the next few months.
