Public Info Meeting Concerning Proposed Modern Roundabouts at Route 82 and Route 154 in Haddam
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) will conduct a public information meeting concerning the proposed modern roundabouts at Route 82 and Route 154 in Haddam, on Tuesday, June 8, 2021. The formal presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m. Refer to the project webpage for more detail: https://portal.ct.gov/DOTHaddam60-160.
The project is identified as State Project No. 0060-0160.
This project is located in the Town of Haddam at the northern and southern intersections of Route 82 and Route 154, and includes the overlapping section of Route 82 and 154 between these two intersections. The northern intersection is located at Route 82 (Bridge Road) and Route 154 (Saybrook Road), and the southern intersection is located at Route 82 (Route 9 Connector) and Route 154 (Saybrook Road).
The purpose of this project is to reduce congestion while improving vehicular, bicyclist, and pedestrian safety within the corridor. This project proposes to replace both existing T-type intersections with single-lane modern roundabouts. In addition, Bridge 00622 carrying Saybrook Road over Clark Creek, will be replaced as part of this project.
Right-of-way impacts are anticipated with the proposed project improvements. Portions of the proposed intersections, associated sidewalks, and a retaining wall may fall outside of the current highway right-of-way. Additionally, temporary construction easements and rights to reconstruct driveways are also anticipated.
Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2023 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $ 7.3 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80-percent federal funds and 20-percent state funds.
The public information meeting is being held to afford a full opportunity for public participation and to allow open discussion of any views and comments/questions the community may have concerning this proposed project.
