The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that the Exit 74 southbound off-ramp and Exit 75 southbound on-ramp will be closed for two weeks beginning October 19. It is anticipated that these ramps will reopen on November 2, 2025. This is necessary to facilitate the reconstruction of these ramps to meet the adjusted traffic alignment to a newly constructed section of highway.
Additionally, in order to allow the southbound travel lanes and bridge to be brought up to final grade, southbound traffic will shift to the new section of highway on I-95 southbound.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is working to inform motorists and residents of current and upcoming construction activities through press releases, travel alerts, social media, project newsletters, as well as the project website, https://i-95eastlyme.com/.
CTDOT Project No. 0044-0156 was awarded to Manafort Brothers at a cost of $148,000,000 on February 1, 2023, and is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2027. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 2 in Norwich.
