Paving,
Milling and Deck Repairs taking place.
Bridgeport,
Connecticut- Connecticut Department of Transportation officials
have announced that as progress continues on the final phase of
the I-95 Bridgeport Reconstruction program, a milling, paving and
bridge deck repair project recently commenced between Exits 24 and
23.
The
operation is scheduled to take place during the overnight hours
on I-95 northbound and southbound, between Exits 24 and 23, and
is scheduled to be completed in October, 2002.
Motorists
should allow for extra travel time traveling due to the scheduled
overnight lane closures and a rough road surface as a result of
the milling and paving operation.
Each
phase of the I-95 Reconstruction Program carries the same goal,
to minimize the impact to the traveling public along I-95. As a
result, work on the highway is scheduled to be performed during
non-peak hours. Additionally, work requiring I-95 lane closures
will not be permitted on weekends from Memorial Day, 2002 through
Labor Day, 2002, from mid-night Friday through mid-night Sunday.
The "blue" project calls for the re-construction of the roadway and the nine bridges between the Fairfield town line and Wordin Avenue, including new full shoulders and operational lanes. Renovations are also planned to both Pine Street and Cherry Street that will ultimately allow for the construction of a single span structure over Bostwick Avenue, and is being performed in two stages, with the first stage set for completion in late May, 2003 with the entire project scheduled to be done in late December of the following year.
