The Brewer Street Bridge Update

East Hartford, CT - Please be advised that the Brewer Street bridge over Pewterpot Brook will not reopen at the end of 2023, as originally anticipated.

Work has been suspended due to unanticipated delays related to the work by utilities on their infrastructure, recent low temperatures, and material (asphalt and concrete) temperature restrictions. 

The best quality construction (and least cost to the Town) will be ensured by resuming work in April 2024. The bridge site will be secured with fencing to restrict access to the unfinished bridge. 

Between Glenn Road/Contractor Road and Mill Road (the closed portion of Brewer Street), the contractor will pave areas to allow the DPW to plow and residents to access their driveways. 

The bridge is expected to reopen before Memorial Day 2024. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
