NEW MILFORD, CT — A group of residents are opposing a proposal to widen a bridge on scenic Cherniske Road in New Milford, according to CT Insider. The one-lane bridge was built in the 1930s, and a recent proposal would widen the bridge to two lanes. The bridge received a poor rating in a 2017 review and, after attempts to repair it, was closed in January 2021. However, residents oppose the proposal to widen the bridge, citing the town's scenic road ordinance. Read the full story in CT Insider.
