The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans for a Pavement Preservation Project for the 2027 construction season, in Colchester and Marlborough.
The project involves milling and overlaying on Route 2 eastbound and westbound. The work on Route 2 eastbound begins in Marlborough near Bridge No. 01710 (Park Road over Route 2) (Mile Point 14.60) and ends in Colchester at Bridge No. 03461 (Route 2 over Route 149 - Westchester Road) (Mile Point 20.37). The work on Route 2 westbound begins in Colchester at Bridge No. 00392 (Route 2 over Route 149 - Westchester Road) (Mile Point 20.37) and ends in Marlborough near Bridge No. 01710 (Park Road over Route 2) (Mile Point 14.60). This project includes treatment of the on-ramps and off-ramps, and short-term off-peak detour routes will be implemented should ramps need to be closed for construction activities.
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 October 2026, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2027, 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 one hundred percent (100%) State funds.
It is CTDOT’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community shares its concerns with the CTDOT to assist in the project's development. A public information meeting will not be conducted for this project as it is considered routine maintenance.
