Project Begins for the Replacement of Highway Signing on I-84 from the New York State Line to the Newtown/Southbury Town Line

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that work has begun for the replacement of highway signing along I-84 in both directions from the New York state line to the Newtown/Southbury town line for a length of approximately 18.5 miles.

The project consists of the replacement of major and minor signs and support structures on Route I-84 in the towns of Danbury, Bethel, Brookfield and Newtown.
