Groton ― The state Department of Transportation will hold a virtual public information meeting at 7 p.m. Monday on the planned replacement of the bridge carrying Groton Long Point Road over the Amtrak railroad.

“This project will address the existing structural deficiencies and the substandard minimum vertical clearance of the bridge traveling over Amtrak Railroad,” Project Manager Francisco T. Fadul said in a statement. “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”

The DOT said construction for the approximately $13.8 million project is expected to start in the fall of 2026, depending on availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way and permits.

Registration is required for the Zoom meeting, and a question and answer session will follow the presentation. More information on how to access the meeting and comment is available at https://portal.ct.gov/DOTGroton58-342.

This meeting also will be livestreamed on the CTDOT YouTube channel, and a recording will be available after the meeting at portal.ct.gov/ctdotVPIMarchive.
