A $26-million project that rehabilitated the southbound span of the Gold Star Memorial Bridge is coming to an end. Two spans of the bridge carry I-95 and Route 1 traffic over the Thames River between New London and Groton. The middle of the bridge is 155-feet above the river. Gold Star is Connecticut’s largest bridge with more than a million square feet of deck surface spread over 11 vehicle traffic lanes and a pedestrian sidewalk. The two bridges carry about 117,000 vehicles a day. The bridge accommodates a large amount of local traffic generated from several major industrial, academic, and government facilities in the area, including, General Dynamics/Electric Boat, the Millstone nuclear plant, the U.S.
