Restoring the historic character of the Sunnyside Street Bridge was a complex endeavor. Funding assistance, obtained through the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) Federal Local Bridge Program, allowed the City of Norwich to move forward with its rehabilitation. Led by prime consultant, Alfred Benesch & Company(Benesch), and comprised of—liaison engineer, CJM Associates; geotechnical engineer, Freeman Companies; surveyor, Martinez Couch & Associates; materials testing, Independent Materials Testing Laboratories; and contractor, Mattern Construction—the Benesch Team fulfilled the City’s desire to restore the functionally obsolete bridge’s integrity and safety, while preserving its beauty and historic character.
