Welcome to the webpage for State Project 0174-0471, Traffic Control Signal Replacements in Northwest Connecticut in Avon, Danbury, East Granby, Farmington, Kent, Middlebury, Simsbury, and Southbury.
A virtual public informational meeting for the project was held on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.
The purpose of this project is to replace aging and outdated traffic signal infrastructure with new equipment to fit current standards. Full and partial replacement locations are selected annually throughout the state based on an assessment of existing conditions at state-owned traffic signals.
Full replacements may include span poles, mast arms, pedestals, signal heads, span wires, conduits, vehicle detection equipment, and/or signing and pavement markings. Both full and partial replacements may include modifications to pedestrian control features such as pedestrian countdown heads, push buttons, sidewalk ramps, and sidewalk extensions.
Right-of-way impacts are expected to be minimal around new signal equipment and sidewalks at some project intersections.
Construction is expected to start spring 2027. The estimated cost is $14 million with 100% state funds.
