The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) today released its five-year Capital Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2025-2029, totaling more than $16 billion in projects throughout the state of Connecticut. The CTDOT Capital Plan informs the public about all planned capital investments over the upcoming five-year period and explains how projects are funded.
Through continued federal investments and state-funded programs and initiatives, the state’s infrastructure continues to improve. From bridge improvement projects to public transportation expansion and roadway reconfigurations and facility upgrades, CTDOT is making transportation safer and more accessible for all roadway users and people of all abilities.
“These investments represent a bold, multi-year commitment to making transportation safer, more accessible, and easier to use,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. “Whether someone is driving, biking, walking or using public transit, we are delivering projects statewide to improve mobility, enhance safety, reduce carbon emissions, and create more opportunities for our residents and businesses.”
