Road construction ahead

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing construction activities related to the opening of the new bridge carrying the I-91 Southbound off-ramp to Route 34 Westbound (Exit 1) were successfully completed by 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14. All travel lanes on I-95, I-91, and Route 34 have been re-opened to traffic. Work scheduled to end by 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14 has been completed.

The I-91 Southbound off-ramp to Route 34 Westbound (Exit 1) has reopened in final alignment on the new bridge over Water Street. The new ramp will now enter Route 34 Westbound from the right. The opening of this ramp allowed for all traffic to be removed from the final temporary ramp still in use within the interchange, completing another milestone for the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program.

The Department commends our contractor, O&G/Tutor Perini Joint Venture for their efforts, as well as all the motorists in the Greater New Haven Area, for their patience, understanding, and cooperation during this time.

To facilitate mobility through the work zone, motorists were assisted prior to and during the construction activities by advanced public notifications including: CTDOT Press Releases and ‘Construction Updates’ and ‘Construction News’ notices; municipal and public safety coordination; placement of advanced and additional highway signing; and the use of state and local police.

This segment of the project is one of a series of many traffic shifts as work progresses on reconstruction of the I-95/I-91/Route 34 interchange and other projects that are part of the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program.
