Dear Senator Brown:

I am writing in response to your letter regarding the Miller Street Bridge replacement project in the Town of Norfolk.

The project consists of removing the existing bridge, construction of a new structure, water control and roadway work. When the Notice to Proceed was issued on December 2, 2003, work on the Water Control Plan specified in the contract was not feasible due to field conditions at that time. As a result, the Water Control Plan required amendment to the U.S. Army Corps Permit, the Water Quality Certification and an Extra Work Order for a sheet pile cofferdam.

At this time the project is on schedule with an anticipated completion date of April 14, 2005.

Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.
