Noise Barrier Replacement on I-95 Between Exits 32-33 in Stratford

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a noise barrier wall replacement project will take place on I-95 between Exit 32-33 in Stratford. This project is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and be completed on Sunday, April 4, 2027.

The existing timber noise barriers have wood rot, broken or missing panels in many areas, as well as vegetative overgrowth. The barrier has reached the end of its useful life and needs replacement. The barrier is being replaced to conform to current standards which are in accordance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) MASH standards.

The work is being performed by Waters Construction Co. Inc.
