CTDOT Developing Plans to Replace Sheet Aluminum Signs Along Interstate 95
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to replace sheet aluminum signs along Interstate 95 including on and off-ramps from Branford to Madison. The new signs will be installed in accordance with the latest Federal and State standards and guidelines.
The existing signs have exceeded their useful service life and need replacement. The scope of the project involves the replacement of only those signs that have exceeded their useful life, have less than adequate retro reflectivity, have evidence of damage, or are no longer in accordance with the latest Federal and State standards and guidelines. Excluded from this project are signs that have been recently replaced or are scheduled to be replaced by other various construction projects.
“Replacing the signs improves visibility and legibility for drivers, making the signs easier to see at night,” said CTDOT Project Manager Barry Schilling.
The design plans for the project are expected to be completed in January 2024 with construction commencing in August 2024.
It’s important to CTDOT to ensure the public’s feedback and thoughts are heard and included. Anyone interested in requesting information about this project may do so by contacting Barry Schilling, Supervising Engineer, Barry.Schilling@ct.gov. Please refer to Project Number 0014-0188.
