"This project will install centerline rumble strips as a low-cost, proven safety countermeasure that alerts drivers when they drift out of a lane, reducing head-on collisions and roadway departure crashes," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Balazs Szoke. "We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design."

Right-of-way impacts are not anticipated.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 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 $8,500. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 100% state funds.
