The Culvert Would Carry Quinnipiac Street Over the Wallace Head Race
The town is finishing design plans for a new culvert, 6 feet wide and 4 feet high, to carry the road over the Wallace Head Race. The town plans to take the old bridge out completely. WMC Consulting Engineers is handling the design, and final plans are expected by early 2027.
Construction Is 100% State Funded
The state will pay for all of the construction through its Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program, known as LOTCIP, according to the town's notice. The notice gives no project cost and no date for construction to begin.
