The CTDOT is providing $15.8 million in grants for 18 projects in Connecticut under the state-funded State Local Bridge Program. “Through the State Local Bridge Program, we are helping ensure locally-owned bridges remain in a state of good repair. Many of the projects are only moving forward as a result of the 50% grant provided by the state,” said CTDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.

Our flags are at half-staff in honor of our fallen colleague and friend, Andrew DiDomenico, as well as all who have died in the line of duty on our roads. This tragedy is absolutely preventable and our hearts go out to Andrew’s loved ones as they attend his wake and funeral services this weekend. #CTDOTStrong

A week ago, we lost our colleague and friend Andrew DiDomenico. To honor him, the CTDOT Fallen Worker Memorials at Connecticut’s rest stops and service plazas have been covered with a black sash and orange ribbon. These memorials serve as a constant reminder for those traveling through and across Connecticut of the dangers our crews face daily. Pay attention, slow down, and move over for the men and women working on our roads. #CTDOTStrong
