The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) Office of Engineering is developing plans to replace the Computerized Traffic Signal System (CTSS) along Route 10 in Cheshire.
The project involves the full replacement of the traffic signal equipment at fourteen intersections and new fiber optic interconnect at nineteen intersections within the Route 10 corridor as summarized on the attached list. In addition, where applicable, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded to meet current Department standards. The replacement of the Computerized Traffic Signal System (CTSS) communications system will establish reliable fiber optic communication connections between the signalized intersections with wireless communications back to the CTDOT’s Newington Administration building and will allow for the implementation of advanced technologies to monitor traffic and reduce travel times. The CTDOT will coordinate with the town of Cheshire during the design phase.

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in October 2025], with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2026, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding and receipt of any required right-of-way and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with 80% federal and 20% state funds.
It is the CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken, and that the community share its concerns to assist in the project's development.
