New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp will welcome Governor Malloy back to New Haven Thursday afternoon to announce completion of the new State Street Bridge. Members of the press are encouraged to cover this event.

WHAT: Press conference about opening the new State Street Bridge
WHEN: Thursday, August 13, 2015; 12:30 p.m.
WHERE: Fair Haven side of the State Street Bridge; New Haven
**NOTE: For GPS, use 1175 State Street in New Haven, which is close to where the event will be held
