To come into compliance with an existing United States Army Corps of Engineers permit for the Freshwater Pond, the Town is working with Wright -Pierce to develop a plan and to acquire the required permits to remove sediment from the Freshwater Pond forebay near the footbridge, which crosses the Freshwater Brook at the pond entrance.  Wright-Pierce will put together a construction contract which may also include some vegetation maintenance around the pond, as required under the original United States Army Corps of Engineers permit.

This project is on hold to budget cutbacks associated with the ongoing State of Connecticut budget crisis.  This project is one of a number of bridge projects that the State has specifically put on hold.

The State DOT was working with BL Companies on a bridge rehabilitation project for the Route 190 Bridge over the Connecticut River.  The project basically consists of maintenance to bridge elements under the road deck.  The DOT held a public meeting on November 15, 2017 in the Enfield Town Council Chambers.  Please click the link below to view the State's project presentation.  

In 2016 the Town had a consultant observe and evaluate the traffic conditions during the morning and afternoon peak periods, including traffic counts and turning movements, and developed conceptual plans to improve the traffic circulation for each school.  The consultants met with administrators from each school to discuss their findings, current school operations, school observations and conceptual plans.
