A state Department of Public health official said Tuesday the person was between the ages of 30 and 40, but could not disclose any other information, including where the person lived or if they had traveled before becoming ill. The official said the person was among 81 confirmed Connecticut cases associated with what is known as the B.1.1.7 variant of the virus.

Westport, Fairfield work to replace bridge over Sasco Brook

Westport, Fairfield work to replace bridge over Sasco Brook
FacebookTwitterEmail
FAIRFIELD — Fairfield and Westport are working to replace a bridge over Sasco Brook on the town line.
Officials say there isn’t any danger to the public using the structure, but they are starting the preliminaries to replace it now because the project will take years to complete.
Projected cost is about $3.2 million, with the majority paid for with state and federal grants.
“The bridge is listed in poor condition,” said William Hurley, Fairfield’s engineering manager. “Since it may take several years to prepare, design and construct a bridge, the state and towns are being proactive in designing the bridge at this time.”
