Applications for FEDERAL Local Bridge Program funding may be submitted at any time. In Connecticut, there are approximately 4,200 bridges and culverts on municipally maintained roads. Construction and maintenance of these structures is the responsibility of the cities and towns who own them.
Recognizing the difficulty that municipalities have in meeting this responsibility, the General Assembly created the Local Bridge Program in 1984 as part of the State’s Infrastructure Renewal Program. This program provides for State grants to municipalities for the removal, replacement, reconstruction or rehabilitation of local bridges.
For more details of the program, please refer to the Local Bridge Program Manual and guides below. The Manual contain information explaining how bridges are rated, an overview of funding programs, an outline of the typical project's progress, environmental permit guidance, guidelines for obtaining funding, and a summary of laws related to municipal bridges.
Older versions are provided on a separate page for reference on projects initiated in prior fiscal years.
