Replacement of Roadway Illumination Systems
The Connecticut Department of Transportation's (Department) Office of Engineering is developing plans for the replacement of existing roadway lighting systems on Route 8 in Bridgeport and Trumbull, Route 25 in Bridgeport and Trumbull, Route 7 in Norwalk and Interstate 95 in Norwalk.
Replacement of the existing roadway lighting systems involves replacing the existing light poles, light pole foundations, high pressure sodium (HPS) type light fixtures, underground circuitry and electric service cabinets with new light poles, light pole foundations, light emitting diode (LED) type light fixtures, underground circuitry and electric service cabinets.
The purpose of this project is to replace existing roadway lighting systems that have reached the end of their useful life in order to improve the operation and reduce the maintenance requirements of the roadway lighting systems.
It is the Department's policy to keep the public informed when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share their concerns with the Department to assist in the project's development.
The present schedule indicates that final design plans will be available in October 2021. The project is currently scheduled to be undertaken with 100-percent state funds.
Anyone interested in receiving information on this project may do so by contacting Mr. Jon Andrews, Project Manager, at (860) 594-2792 or by e-mail at jon.andrews@ct.gov. Please make reference to State Project No. 173-511, Replacement of Roadway Illumination Systems.
