TRAFFIC IMPACTS:

LONG-TERM LANE CLOSURE/DETOUR REMAINS IN EFFECT:

The long-term closure of one of the three lanes of I-91 SB through the work zone will remain for the duration of the project. The project is being constructed in three stages. Stage 1 construction began on March 11, 2025. Stage 3 construction is scheduled to be completed in September 2026.

The State Street on-ramp to I-91 SB located at the Founders Bridge will remain CLOSED for the duration of the project to facilitate the temporary traffic patterns on I-91 SB throughout staged construction. Detours are posted to direct motorists seeking I-91 SB to use either the South Morgan Street on-ramp to I-91 SB at Columbus Boulevard or the Sheldon Street on-ramp to the Whitehead Highway at Columbus Boulevard, where they can access I-91 SB.

The Stage 1 traffic pattern includes a work zone and reduced travel way width on the Whitehead Highway on-ramp to I-91 SB.

Motorists on I-84 EB seeking I-91 SB will be required to merge with I-91 SB traffic due to the temporary traffic patterns on I-91 SB during staged construction. I-84 EB motorists entering I-91 SB traffic previously had a dedicated lane provided.

Temporary nighttime lane closures are expected on I-91 SB during the project from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am.

Temporary daytime shoulder closures are expected on I-91 SB during the project from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
