The Station Road bridge in Redding needs to be reconstructed.  Town officials knew about this project last year, but decided not to have another closure as the Long Ridge Road realignment project was going on. 

A low bid has been received, and the would would be funded entirely by state grant money. 

Residents will have to vote to accept the bid and use the Local Capital Improvement Program funding.  First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton says the project does have to go to a special town meeting.  She called it a technicality because the spending won't impact the mill rate or tax payers.  In the form of town government like Redding's, the state requires a resolution from the town meeting authorizing the use of grant funds. 

The special town meeting is at 7pm in Redding Town Hall.

The project would be placed on the calendar for this summer.
