The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) Office of Engineering is developing plans for the Pavement Preservation Project for the 2026 construction season.
This project involves placing a thin friction wearing course on the following locations below:
- Route 187 in Bloomfield and Windsor, beginning at the intersection of W Dudley Town Road (Mile Point 4.92) in Bloomfield and ending approximately 0.17 miles north of Route 189 (Tunxis Avenue) (Mile Point 8.04) in Bloomfield
- Route 10 in Farmington and Avon, beginning at the intersection of Route 4 (Farmington Avenue) (Mile Point 34.07) in Farmington and ending at the intersection of Route 44 (Avon Mountain Road) (Mile Point 39.60) in Avon
- Route 32 in Willington, beginning at the intersection of Route 74 (Tolland Turnpike) (Mile Point 43.17) and ending at the Willington/Tolland town line (Mile Point 46.97)
- Route 67 in New Milford, Bridgewater, and Roxbury, beginning in New Milford at the intersection of Malletts Lane (Mile Point 0.72) and ending in Roxbury approximately 340 feet east of Old Turnpike Road (Mile Point 5.33)
- Route 10 in Hamden and Cheshire, beginning in Hamden approximately 570 feet north of Todd Street (Mile Point 12.02) and ending near Deanarose Place in Cheshire (Mile Point 15.36)
- Route 67 in New Milford, Bridgewater, and Roxbury, beginning in New Milford at the intersection of Malletts Lane (Mile Point 0.72) and ending in Roxbury approximately 340 feet east of Old Turnpike Road (Mile Point 5.33)
- Route 317 in Roxbury and Woodbury, beginning in Roxbury at the intersection of Route 67 (Mile Point 0.00) and ending in Woodbury at the intersection of Meadowbrook Lane (Mile Point 4.76)
Sidewalk curb ramps are also being evaluated to meet ADA compliance as part of this project. The purpose of this project is to preserve and maintain the condition of the pavement, bringing it to a good state of repair. This project will help the CTDOT achieve Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) goals, through pavement preservation treatments that extend the overall pavement life and improve pavement performance.
The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in August 2025, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2026, assuming acceptance of the project, availability of funding, receipt of any required right-of-way, and environmental permits. This project will be undertaken with one hundred percent (100%) State funds.
It is CTDOT's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken and important that the community share its concerns with the CTDOT to assist in the project's development.
