The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment with new equipment in Groton, Killingworth, Ledyard, Marlborough, New London, Norwich, Plainfield, Preston, Stonington, Windham, and Woodstock.
The project involves the full replacements of the traffic signal equipment at fourteen intersections. At applicable locations, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. CTDOT will coordinate with the City/Town during the design phase. The following intersections are included with full replacement:

It is the CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development. CTDOT will be reaching out within the next few months to schedule a meeting with Municipal Officials to discuss concerns, requests, and the need for a Virtual Public Information Meeting.
The design plans for these projects are expected to be completed in June 2027 with a tentative adverting date for construction of August 2027.
Anyone interested in requesting information on these projects may do so by contacting Kaethe Podgorski, Project Manager at (860) 594-2189 or via email at kaethe.podgorski@ct.gov. Please refer to Project No. 0172-0550.
