The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will host two virtual public meetings for the I-95 Stamford Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. and Wednesday, March 1, 2023, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. The meetings will be held virtually on Zoom.

CTDOT is performing a PEL Study, which began in early 2022, to research ways to improve safety and operations on I-95 between Interchanges 7-9, as well as develop concepts to replace the I-95 bridge over Metro-North Railroad and Myrtle Avenue. The study area includes I-95 from West Avenue (Exit 6) to U.S. Route 106/Seaside Avenue area (Exit 9) and various diversion routes such as Route 1.

The PEL Study has received a $1 million grant through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for planning purposes to examine preliminary alternatives for replacing Bridge No. 32 and reconfiguring Exits 7-9 on I-95.

The study team is looking to engage with residents, business owners, and other members of the public about their experiences in the corridor during public meetings. To attend one of the public meetings and for more information about the study, visit i95stamford.com.   

The study team will present the PEL Study process, discuss the existing conditions and data collection, and introduce the next steps for the study. The meeting will then conclude with a question-and-answer session, where attendees can ask questions and offer comments regarding the study. Zoom and telephone call-in details for each meeting can be found on the i95stamford.com/get-involved page under Upcoming Events. Here is the call-in information for each meeting:
