Upgrading of Sidewalk Ramps in Waterbury
The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (Department) Office of Engineering is developing plans for the upgrade of sidewalk ramps along State Route 847 in the City of Waterbury. The project is part of an ongoing effort by the Department to make the public right-of-way accessible to all individuals. Due to the limited nature of the proposed work, it is not anticipated that an informational meeting or formal public hearing will be held for this project.

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in the winter of 2012, with construction anticipated to start in the spring 2013. This project will be undertaken with federal funds.

Anyone interested in receiving information on this project may do so by contacting Mr. James A. Fallon, Manager of Design Services, and (860) 594-2975 or by e-mail at james.fallon@ct.gov . Please make reference to Project No. 0151-0322.
