DOT to replace Brookfield repair shop
BROOKFIELD — The state Department of Transportation wants to replace what it calls a “functionally obsolete” repair facility on Federal Road.
DOT’s Office of Engineering is developing plans to build a new repair facility on the site of the existing repair facility at the intersection of routes 7 and 202.
The project involves building a 15,000-square-foot bay area and a 6,000-square-foot office area, and will include operational sections for vehicle repair, a materials storage stockroom, private office areas and supporting office spaces.
The existing repair facility will be converted to cold storage, DOT said in a news release.
Other improvements will include removal of a cold storage building, motor fuel island and underground tanks, installation of motor fuel above-ground storage tanks, motor fuel island, new pavement where necessary, site drainage system improvements and connection to utilities.
The final design plans are expected to be finished in September.
“If there is adequate interest, an informational meeting will be conducted. At this time, it is not anticipated that a formal public hearing will be necessary,” DOT said in a release.
