Project 0050-0223 Webpage
Welcome to the webpage for Project 0050-0223, Computerized Traffic Signal System (CTSS) Replacement U.S.Route 1 (Kings Highway), in the Town of Fairfield.
This state project is located along U.S. Route 1 (Kings Highway) in the Town of Fairfield from Meadowbrook Road to Jennings Road/Rainbow Street; approximately 1.5 miles in length. The project has been initiated to replace the aging traffic signal infrastructure along this section of the U.S. Route 1 corridor, as needed for a state of good repair, by replacing the existing Computerized Traffic Signal System (CTSS). The project includes a total of eleven (11) traffic signal upgrades; one (1) of the eleven (11) locations requiring only partial upgrades or minor modifications. The purpose of the project is to allow Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) to continue the deployment and use of advanced traffic signal technology to monitor and reduce travel times, upgraded traffic signal detection, using non-intrusive sensors to provide additional detection and visual capabilities.
There are right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements. The impacts are minimal around existing signal equipment and sidewalks at most project intersections.
Construction is anticipated to begin Fall 2025 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $11,864,000. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
A Virtual Public Information Meeting (VPIM) was held for the project on August 15, 2024. The recording of that event can be accessed at the Virtual Public Information Meeting Video Library.
