Point Street overpass to open tomorrow

The state Department of Transportation announced today that it expects the Point Street overpass over Route 95 to open tomorrow for the morning commute.

Engineering problems on the project have caused delays and overruns – the cost has grown more than 75 percent.

Striping of the roadway that was set for today couldn’t be done because of this morning’s rain and snow, the DOT said in a statement. In the beginning, bridge lanes will be delineated with barrels, and the striping will be done later this week, weather permitting, the DOT said.

The overpass was demolished in 2002. Construction of the new structure began immediately thereafter.
