The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment with new equipment to meet current CTDOT standards at 11 locations in Ansonia, Burlington, East Granby, Granby, Suffield, Torrington, Watertown, and Winchester.
At applicable locations, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded in an effort to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. CTDOT will coordinate with the town during the design phase. The following intersections are included:

It is 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 expects to hold a public informational hearing upon completion of the preliminary design.
The design plans for these projects are expected to be completed in July 2027 with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2028.
