City of Torrington Considers Pinewoods Road Reconstruction
The City of Torrington is developing concept plans to reconstruct Pinewoods Road from Winsted Road to the Route 8 interchange. The project will include widening and installing new culverts at the Still River crossing. The project is still in the concept stage and may be recommended for construction under the Surface Transportation Program administered by the CT Department of Transportation. This project, if supported by the community and Torrington officials, will be designed by the City of Torrington. It is anticipated that the Federal Highway Administration will provide 80% of the construction cost, with the State providing 20%. Based on preliminary assessment, the construction cost will be approximately $2.1 million.
It is the City of Torrington's and the State's policy to keep persons informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns to assist in the project's development. Anyone interested in obtaining further information or providing input may do so by calling City Engineer Ed Fabbri at 860-489-2234, or by writing to him at 140 Main St., Torrington, CT 06790.
