The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment with new equipment and install new traffic control signals at existing unsignalized intersections to meet current Department standards at 16 locations in the cities and/or towns of East Hampton, Groton, Lisbon, Mansfield, North Stonington, Old Lyme, Pomfret, Deep River, Stonington, Thompson, and Westbrook.
At applicable locations, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded in an effort to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. The Department will coordinate with the respective city/town during the design phase. The following intersections are included:

It is the Department’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development. At this time, it is anticipated that an informational meeting or formal public hearing will not be necessary. The design plans for this project are expected to be completed in May 2022 with a tentative advertising date for construction of July 2022.
