The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has announced an in-person public informational meeting regarding the proposed roundabout improvements at Route 4 and Route 63 in Goshen. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at the Goshen Center School Gymnasium located at 42 North Street in Goshen. An open forum for discussions with project staff will start at 6:30 p.m., followed by a formal presentation at 7:00 p.m.
The purpose of this meeting is to inform the community about the project, gather feedback, and address any questions. More information can be found on their website: portal.ct.gov/DOTGoshen0054-0087.
“This project will upgrade the existing circular intersection to a modern roundabout to improve traffic operation and safety for all users,” stated Scott Bushee, Principal Engineer at CTDOT. He added, “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
The proposed improvements will involve two minor property acquisitions necessary for constructing new roadway geometry and sidewalks. Additional rights and easements may be required as the design progresses.
Construction is expected to commence in fall 2027, contingent upon funding availability, acquisition of rights of way, and permit approvals. The estimated construction cost is approximately $5 million, with funding anticipated to comprise 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
