"The purpose of the project is to enhance and modernize the existing local transit services to support current and future riders. These elements aim to deliver shorter travel times, improve schedule reliability, and create a safer, more accessible environment for all road users," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Charles Wiegert. "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 associated with the proposed improvements are in the form of partial takes associated with roundabout construction, mobility hub construction, and minor roadway realignments.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2028 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 $307 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with a combination of federal and state funds.
