The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that, in order to facilitate construction work associated with the Route 8/I-84 Interchange (Mixmaster) rehabilitation project in Waterbury, lanes closures will occur on I-84 westbound beginning immediately. Due to recent reductions in traffic volume, closures are being extended to weekdays and weekends.
The left lane on I-84 Westbound between Exit 21 (to Bank Street) extending past Exit 20 (to Route 8 Northbound) will be closed until further notice. The center lane will be closed nightly (leaving only one lane of traffic) from the hours of 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is working to inform motorists and local residents of current and upcoming construction activities through project newsletters, press notices, travel alerts, social media, as well as the project website, www.mixmaster-rehab.com. If you have any questions related to construction, please contact us at info@mixmaster-rehab.com.
The project consists of the rehabilitation of numerous bridges located within the Route 8 and I-84 Interchange and was awarded to Walsh Construction Company at a cost of $152,960,945.27 on April 18, 2018 and is scheduled to be completed September 10, 2022.
