CTDOTPlans for a Pavement Rehabilitation Project on Route 44 in Avon and West Hartford

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans for a pavement rehabilitation project on Route 44 in Avon and West Hartford.

The project is located on Route 44 in the Towns of Avon and West Hartford. The work on Route 44 extends 3.3 miles in both directions between the intersection of Route 10 (Nod Road) in Avon and the intersection of Mountain Road in West Hartford. The project involves a 3-inch mill and overlay and the replacement of inlaid thermoplastic pavement markings in the median. Other safety improvements will consist of High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) at select locations and replacement of substandard guiderail within the project limits.

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in the fall of 2027 with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2028, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding, and receipt of any required right-of-way and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with one hundred percent (100%) State funds.

It is CTDOT's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. If anyone has any questions or comments on this project, please contact Sebastian A. Cannamela, Principal Engineer, at (860) 594-2698 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Please make reference to State Project No. 0004-0138.
