The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that the start of construction for the rehabilitation of Bridge No. 07023 Interstate 95 on-ramp will begin on April 18, 2024. The purpose and need for the project is to address the critical condition of the culvert, which exhibits perforations along the culvert invert as well as severe corrosion of the steel culvert. In several locations, the steel protective coating exhibits loss, deteriorations, or is failing and missing all together. Additionally, the project will improve the hydraulic capacity of the system as there has been historic flooding at the I-95 Interchange 15 – intersection of West Avenue with the Route 7 off-ramp and I-95 northbound on-ramp.
CTDOT Project No. 0102-0367 was awarded to Waters Construction Co., Inc. at a cost of $6,356,113.45 on March 4, 2024, and is scheduled to be completed November 4, 2024. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 3 in New Haven.
