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.
