Bridgeport:
I-95 southbound Exit 26 on-ramp from Wordin Ave. is
scheduled to be closed beginning Monday morning, May
2 at 6:00pm and will reopen Tuesday, May
3, by early evening, in order to reconstruct the base of the
ramp. Traffic will be detoured to the I-95 southbound Exit
25 on-ramp from Commerce Drive.
Milford/Stratford:
Construction activities on the Housatonic River Bridge, between
Milford and Stratford, began on April 11, 2005. The construction
will affect portions of Route 1 at the Milford-Stratford line and will be performed,
weather permitting. Motorists should expect lane closures along Route
1 daily, up to one-half mile on either side of the bridge. Two lanes
of traffic will be maintained Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 9:00am and
3:00pm to 7:00pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to 7:00pm. No full bridge
closures are anticipated until the Fall. Construction work includes repainting
the bridge, new mechanics needed to open and close the bridge and the installation
of a new fender protection system in the river. The project is expected to be
completed by August 2007.
New
Milford: Reconstruction of Route 7 has resumed for
