The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that drainage improvements at the I-95 northbound on-ramp from West Avenue in Norwalk will begin February 8, 2026. The purpose 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 historical flooding at the intersection of West Avenue with the Route 7 off-ramp and I-95 northbound on-ramp.
CTDOT Project No. 0102-0371 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 Summer, 2026. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 3 in New Haven.
