"The replacement of traffic control signals will maintain reliable traffic operations and improve safety at various intersections while modernizing aging infrastructure," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Kaethe Podgorski. "We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team."

Right-of-way impacts are expected to be minimal around new signal equipment and sidewalks at some project intersections.

Construction is anticipated to begin spring 2028 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost is approximately $13 million. The project is anticipated to be undertaken with 100% state funds.
