Easton Dam Nearing Completion Amid Massive Construction
Easton dam in Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. land rises 190 feet with a quarter‑mile wall of concrete and rock. A vast limestone and sand mixing operation uses steam shovels, crushers, conveyors, and a cement plant to form the structure. Hundreds of workers toil day and night as miles of five‑ton pipe justify the project cost. The reservoir will hold billions of gallons and serve Bridgeport, Stratford, Fairfield, and surrounding area, with a final walkable top and landscaped grounds.
