The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that pavement preservation will be performed on Route 156 in East Haddam/Lyme/Old Lyme and Route 201 in North Stonington starting on April 1, 2026.
As part of the 2026 Pavement Preservation Program, a new project is set to begin on Route 156, from mile point 0.00 to 8.43, and on Route 201, from mile point 1.94 to 4.13. This project aims to revitalize existing wearing surface and extend the lifespan of the pavement of these corridors.
