Just got word that Gov. Jodi Rell is going to make "a major announcement concerning Route 72" in Bristol at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday (at the Todd Street commuter lot, for those who might want to hear it for themselves).
Now it doesn't take more than two brain cells rubbing together to know that Rell plans to announce that funding for the long-delayed project is going to happen at last, most likely at this month's State Bond Commission meeting.
I'll be calling around tonight for tomorrow's story that says pretty much this, with lots more background but probably not much more information. But for those who have been waiting, this is good news.
Construction could start this fall.

Will Rell explain why she has kept Bristol waiting all spring? What about our promised downtown money? By the time all the preliminary 72 work is done it will be winter. Was Bristol being punished because Colapitro insisted that Rell's friend Bev Bobroske answer for her slimey campaign?
