The Connecticut Department of Transportation is developing plans to replace highway signing on Interstate 84 from West Hartford to East Hartford.

The project involves replacing existing highway signing from the Route 9 Interchange at the Farmington/West Hartford town line to Interchange 56 in East Hartford.  Replacement of the highway signing will consist of removing existing overhead, side mounted and post mounted signs and installing new overhead, side mounted and post mounted signs on new and existing sign supports. Ramp signing will also be included for the removal and replacement of new sign supports. The current project schedule indicates that construction will start in the spring of 2019. 

It is the Department's policy to keep persons informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with the Department to assist in the project's development.  If there is adequate interest, an informational meeting will be conducted.  At this time, it is not anticipated that a formal public hearing will be necessary.

Anyone interested in requesting information on this project may do so by contacting Stephen Bruno, Project Engineer, at (860) 594-2710 or Stephen.Bruno@ct.gov.  Please make reference to Project No. 155-173.
