Seven months after a fiery crash on I-95 the Fairfield Avenue Bridge is reopening today.

Gov. Ned Lamont says city and state officials will be in Norwalk to announce the completed restoration and reopening of the Fairfield Avenue Bridge.

The bridge was demolished following a fiery crash involving an oil tanker on May 2.

News 12 Connecticut was first on the scene.

The structural integrity of the overpass was compromised and the bridge had to be torn down.

By June 1, engineers completed a design for the bridge, and work had started by mid-summer.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal says this morning's reopening of the bridge is a big win for Connecticut.

"We are seeing the reopening of the Fairfield Avenue Bridge -- under budget, $16.8 million -- a lot of that coming from the federal government, enabling it to be rebuild ahead of schedule, now instead of next spring. That's a success story for Connecticut, as well as for the federal infusion of funds," said Blumenthal.

Gov. Lamont and representatives from the Department of Transportation will meet later this morning to discuss the accomplishment and shortly after the bridge will be open to the public.
