State Police: Bridge at Waterbury Mixmaster closed, avoid area

There’s a problem at the Mixmaster in Waterbury on Wednesday.

State Police said Wednesday afternoon that the bridge from Route 8 north to I-84 west is closed “due to unforeseen circumstances relating to the current bridge deck demolition.”

All traffic looking to access I-84 from northbound Route 8 must use the U-Turn at Exit 35.

“This closure will impact rush hour. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.”

The Mixmaster is undergoing a $152 million rehabilitation.

The project consists of the rehabilitation of numerous bridges located within the Route 8 and I-84 interchange. “The purpose is to preserve and provide a 25-year service life to the structures and to assure their structural integrity,” according to the state Department of Transportation. “The project consists of deck repairs and replacements, steel repairs, substructure repairs, joint repairs, and other general repairs.”
