Written comments from the public are welcomed and will be accepted until the close of business on:  January 16, 2004.

This project is an outgrowth of public input received in regard to the reconstruction of the Moses Wheeler Bridge, which carries I-95 over the Housatonic River immediately north of Interchange 33.  As a result, the Department does not anticipate the need for a Public Scoping Meeting for this project.

Any person can ask the sponsoring agency to hold a Public Scoping Meeting by sending such a request to the address below.  If a meeting is requested by 25 or more individuals, or by an association that represents 25 or more members, the sponsoring agency shall schedule a Public Scoping Meeting.
