Richard Brown is representing The Maguire Group, a New Britain contractor, in the state and federal investigation into the $52 million reconstruction project on I-84.  The FBI and other federal authorities are investigating the problem with the hundred of defective drains.  Arthur Gruhn, chief engineer at the Connecticut Department of Transportation, attributes the faulty drain system to a breakdown of the construction and inspection process associated with extensive improvements to the highly traveled stretch of I-84 near Waterbury. Attorney Brown was recently quoted in the Hartford Courant: “Obviously we are in the process of reviewing the findings of the Department of Transportation.  We absolutely want to cooperate in terms of correcting the situation at no expense to the state of Connecticut.”
