State St. Bridge To Close

Traffic will be rerouted for one year beginning Monday, as the state embarks on a long-awaited project to rebuild the crumbling bridge that takes State Street over the Mill River.

The bridge, which was built in the 1920s and has a deteriorating foundation, is being replaced by the state.

The closure is set to last from Monday until October 2011, according to city spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga.

Detours for cars and pedestrians will be posted.

The project was awarded to C.J. Fucci, Inc. on April 2, 2009 at a cost of just over $5 million, according to Mayorga. It is scheduled for completion in February 2012.
