Scheduled Closure of One Lane on Route 5/15 Northbound Approaching the Charter Oak Bridge
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing the scheduled closure of one lane on Route 5/15 northbound approaching the Charter Oak Bridge, beginning September 9, 2021.
The scheduled lane closure is necessary to facilitate ongoing construction activities as part of the I-91 Charter Oak Bridge Project. The left-lane closure will begin after the Route 5/15 northbound Exit 89 ramp and is anticipated to be in place through through January 1, 2022.
Motorists are advised that that this is still a very active construction zone with reduced lane widths, reduced speed limits, no shoulders, and temporary barriers. Motorists should remain alert, drive cautiously, and obey posted speed limits.
To keep the public informed, the CTDOT issues press releases in advance of any activities that will impact motorists. The project website has the latest information about work activities and any expected impacts to the public. Go to the project website to sign up and receive weekly project updates.
