The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) today published a five-year Capital Plan outlining more than $15 billion in transportation projects planned across Connecticut during Federal Fiscal Years 2026-2030.
Supported by continued federal and state investments, Connecticut’s transportation infrastructure is steadily improving. CTDOT is advancing projects ranging from bridge repairs and roadway redesigns to public transit improvements and facility upgrades, making travel safer and more accessible for everyone.
“With this plan, we’re rebuilding roads and bridges, modernizing public transportation, and making it easier and safer to travel in Connecticut,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. “These long-term investments will improve safety, better connect our towns and cities, and help our state economy thrive.”
The Capital Plan, funding breakdowns, and project overviews can be viewed at portal.ct.gov/CapitalPlans. A list of all state-managed projects in design or in construction can also be explored using an interactive map.
CTDOT anticipates programming approximately $3.78 billion in federal and state capital funding for all transportation modes in Fiscal Year 2026. The 2026 Capital Program includes approximately:
- $2.16 billion for bus and rail, including MOVE New Haven Bus Rapid Transit System, upgrading and building various train stations along the Waterbury Branch Line and Hartford Line, and replacing the Devon Railroad Bridge between Milford and Stratford.
- $1.60 billion for roadway and bridge infrastructure, including I-91/I-691/Route 15 Interchange Improvements in Meriden and Middletown, I-95 Gold Star Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation and Multimodal Improvements in Groton and New London, and Rehabilitation of the Putnam Bridge in Glastonbury and Wethersfield.
- $23.4 million to support renovating transportation facilities across the state, including expanded truck parking in Southington and a new CTDOT maintenance facility in Simsbury.
In total, the Capital Plan programs $15.70 billion in planned funding to improve safety and mobility throughout the state.
