The meeting will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 5, in the Bridgeport City Hall, City Council Chambers, 45 Lyon Terrace. A design presentation will begin at 7 p.m. with a question and answer period immediately following.
The proposed improvements include roadside grading and roadway adjustments to provide adequate sight distances on Route 127. The project will also include sliver widening on Route 127 and provide a southbound bypass on Route 127 at Evers Street. Partial acquisitions and easements will be required from Beardsley Park to provide the required sight distances. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2019 and completed in fall of the same year.
The estimated construction cost for the state designed project is approximately $3.5 million with 90 percent federal funds and 10 percent state funds. The public informational meeting is being held to offer a full opportunity for public participation and to allow open discussion of any views and comments the community may have.
