The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that to facilitate construction activities associated with the first stage of rehabilitation of the Arrigoni Bridge, that concrete barrier will be installed to reduce the number of travel lanes from two, to one lane in each direction. This configuration will begin on March 30, 2020.
During this stage, traffic will be shifted to one lane in each direction on the southern portion of the bridge allowing for continued traffic flow while construction crews perform work on the northern side of the structure behind concrete barrier. It is anticipated that this configuration will remain in place until December of 2020. Upon completion of this stage, traffic will then be shifted to each outside lane of the bridge for one lane of traffic in each direction, while work is then performed in the center portion of the structure behind concrete barrier.
For additional information about the project, please visit www.arrigonibridgeproject.com. The website will soon provide project status updates as well as access to live camera feeds and traffic conditions within the work zone.
Motorists are strongly urged to utilize caution and to reduce speeds in the work zone area.
