For a transportation
project in Bridgewater to obtain a commitment of federal transportation
funds, it must first appear on the HVCEO maintained list below.
This listing also assists local officials in tracking the
progress of current improvements,
and planning and advocating for future
improvements as well.
ROUTE 133 SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
--- Conn DOT Project 16-H003 involves the upgrading of guiderails
along Route 133 south of Wewaka Brook Road in Bridgewater.
This project was placed on the HVCEO Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP) in November of 2005.

This narrow and curvy section of Route 133
in Bridgewater will receive safety improvements.
Environmental permits will be required. As of 3/2007 construction
is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2009 and will require
one construction season for completion. The project budget
is currently estimated at $2,000,000. Conn DOT Contact: William
Britnell (860) 594-3283.
FUTURE
TRAFFIC PROJECTS
--- None at this time. Bridgewater is a rural town
that is not seeking signalization, turning lanes, etc. for
its roadways. There may be some minor safety improvements
by Conn DOT on state roadways in the future, if authorized
by local officials.

Route 133 looking north in Bridgewater Center.
Classified as a
semi-rural
remote area, this small town has minimal need
and low priority for roadway capacity improvements.
TOWN CENTER
PEDESTRIAN PLAN
--- The 2001 Bridgewater Town Plan calls for the
development of a plan for pedestrian circulation in the village
center. As part of its local assistance program during 2007
HVCEO will prepare this plan in coordination with Town officials.
FUTURE
TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS:
— Advance Bridgewater
transit projects when funding permits.
