E.T.& L. Corp. was awarded a $2.5 million project for the Town of Milford in October 2024. Work on this project consists of replacing the existing bridge structure that carries Central Street over the Charles River and reconstructing the approaches to the bridge.

The work included the demolition and disposal of the existing bridge superstructure and substructure. Work also included the construction of a new single-span structure utilizing seven (7) prestressed deck beams supporting a 7½” cast-in-place deck with 3” superpave wearing surface. The new superstructure is supported on new cast-in-place abutments and footings placed in the same location as the existing stone masonry abutments. The Central Street bridge was closed from early June 2025 through early Fall 2025 to allow for demolition and construction of the new structure. The water in the Charles River was diverted so work could be done in the dry. A 9-conduit electric duct bank was supported in-place during construction.

The project also required full depth reconstruction of both approaches, installation of new pavement, granite curb, ADA compliant cement concrete sidewalks and accessible ramps, guardrail, loam and seed, pavement markings, temporary erosion control devices, temporary traffic control, and other incidental items of work. Utility replacements included the water main across the bridge and beyond the approaches, as well as drainage upgrades at both approaches.
