“The project involves a full replacement of the bridge and roadway re-alignment to address geometric deficiencies that will help improve traffic flow and enhance safety for all users,” stated Marc Byrnes, Project Manager for CTDOT. “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 involve right-of-way impacts, including partial property acquisitions, slope easements, temporary construction easements, and rights.
