Welcome to the webpage for Safety Improvements at the intersection of Route 642 and Sturtevant Street in Norwich.
A virtual public information meeting was held on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing substandard three-cable guiderail with a MASH compliant rail system and improving the roadway geometry of Route 642 (West Town Street). The horizontal roadway curve will be realigned and reconstructed to meet design standards.
Right-of-way impacts are anticipated which include construction easements, sloping for the safety of the highway, an access easement, and partial sliver acquisitions.
Construction is expected to start fall 2026, depending on funding, right-of-way acquisition, and permits. The estimated cost is $3 million with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
