Installations and Revisions of Traffic Control Signals in Various Connecticut Towns
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment with new equipment to meet current Department standards at 11 locations in Fairfield, Milford, Norwalk, Shelton, Stratford, Trumbull, Wallingford, and Wilton.
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 each city or town during the design phase.

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 January 2023 with a tentative advertising date for construction of March 2023.
