DOT to Install Osprey Nest Platform on East Haddam Swing Bridge

In response to requests from local citizens and public officials, the Connecticut Department of Transportation will erect an osprey nest platform on the East Haddam swing bridge, which carries Route 82 over the Connecticut River between East Haddam and Haddam. Almost every year, ospreys build a nest on one of the bridge trusses. The new platform will be adjacent to the truss currently used by the ospreys.
