President Connecticut Construction Industries Association Contractors are keeping a close eye on the proposed New Britain- Hartford Busway project, Shubert says. The $567-million, 9.4-mile bus rapid transit corridor would include 11 transit stations and 16 bridges. The state estimates the project would create or retain 12,000 construction-related jobs. Design is complete, and the project is going through its final steps before construction can begin. Shubert says a 2011 groundbreaking is critical for local contractors. “If the project doesn’t go as scheduled, this year is a bust,” he says. |
