2. Cancellation Notice for Rehabilitation of Heroes Tunnel (Bridge No. 00773)

Address of possible location:  Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) through West Rock Ridge

Municipalities where it would have been located: Woodbridge, Hamden, and New Haven

Agency Determination: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has decided to cancel the project, as described the last time a notice appeared in the Environmental Monitor on October 4, 2016, because of issues unrelated to the environmental review requirements of the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA). Since the time of project scoping, the CTDOT has decided to reassess the transportation needs in the area and will no longer be advancing the project as originally scoped.  CTDOT expects the project scope to change from what was presented during the 2016 scoping period, and a new scoping process will take place in the future if warranted under CEPA.
