Construction is set to begin on Monday to replace the Merryall Bridge in New Milford. The contractor will begin the project on Monday by dismantling the current bridge. During the project, Merryall Road on the northern side of the bridge will be closed to traffic. Additionally, on May 7 and 8, West Meetinghouse Road will be closed while a crane is used to remove the bridge’s superstructure. Police will be stationed at key intersections from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to assist with traffic. Drivers are urged to use caution, and to plan alternate routes to avoid backups and delays.
