Notice of Scoping for New Haven Crossing Corridor Improvement Program

Municipality where proposed project might be located: New Haven

Addresses of Possible Project Locations: Locations described in the attached memo below

Project Description: The Properties described here were purchased for the reconstruction of the Quinnipiac River Bridge/New Haven Harbor Crossing Improvement Program. The project has been completed and the properties are considered in excess of DOT’s needs.   DOT has transferred custody and control of the properties to DECD pursuant to CGS 13-a-80 with OPM approval under CGS 4-67g. DECD will utilize its statutory authority, CGS 32-228 to transfer the property to the CT Port Authority (CPA). CPA has a need to support the maritime in the New Haven port area. The DOT purchased the properties with federal FHWA funds and it is required to reimburse FHWA for any properties it sells. As such, it is expected that the CPA  will purchase the properties  and   DOT will deposit the proceeds in the State Transportation Fund to reimburse FHWA.
