The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the start of work on Route 68 in the area of Sawmill Brook beginning on September 21, 2024. This project consists of the replacement of Bridge No. 02442 on Route 68 in two stages in Durham. The curb-to-curb width of the roadway at the bridge will be widened to 34 ft to accommodate a 12-foot travel lane and 5-foot shoulder in each direction.
