The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing the implementation of alternating one-way traffic configuration on the Derby-Shelton Bridge (Bridge No. 01659) over the Housatonic River from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. The current eastbound lane will be closed, and traffic will be shifted to the current westbound lane. Traffic control will be provided by local police.
The project consists of the rehabilitation and realignment of the travel ways on the existing structure. The completed roadway will provide a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk (north) and a 7-foot-wide sidewalk (south), one 11-foot-wide Westbound travel lane and two 11-foot-wide Eastbound travel lanes with 2-foot shoulders for vehicles, a 3’-8” buffer zone, and a 10-foot-wide paved bike lane (south).
DOT Project No. 0126-0174 was awarded to Mohawk Northeast, Inc. on January 26, 2021, at a cost of $6,393,565.45 and is scheduled to be completed by November 27, 2023. This project is administered by the Bureau of Engineering and Construction, Office of Construction, District 3, New Haven.
