The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that signing and pavement marking installation at unsignalized municipal road intersections will be performed in the towns of Brooklyn, Killingly, Mansfield, Marlborough, Montville, New London, Old Saybrook, Waterford and Windham starting fall 2024
The purpose of this project is to implement signing and pavement marking improvements at unsignalized municipally owned and maintained intersections as needed to improve compliance and visibility.
This project will replace existing stop signs, approximately 50 feet of double yellow pavement markings and stop bars as well as introduce oversized stop signs, stop ahead and intersection ahead warning signs in accordance with latest standards. The systemic application has proven safety countermeasures at higher crash-risk, stop-controlled intersections and it aims to lower the potential of future crashes. Approximately 50 intersections in Eastern Connecticut have been identified by CTDOT that will benefit from the enhanced signing and pavement marking improvements.
CT DOT Project No. 0172-0521 was awarded to Discount Fence of Connecticut, LLC at a cost of $524,314.30 on August 12, 2024, and is scheduled to be completed October 30, 2025. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 2 in Norwich.
