“This project will improve safety and reduce congestion at the intersections by installing three modern roundabouts and a continuous pedestrian and bicyclist path,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Joseph D. Arsenault. “Modern roundabouts have an 80% reduction in fatal and serious injuries at formerly stop-controlled intersections, according to the Federal Highway Administration. We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
Minor right-of-way impacts are anticipated in the vicinity of the intersection of Route 614 with Sandy Hollow Road.
Construction is anticipated to begin spring 2029, subject to the availability of funding, acquisition of right(s)-of-way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $16 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
