Darien/Norwalk,
CT- Connecticut Department of Transportation officials have announced
that the I-95 median improvement project in Darien and Norwalk is
scheduled to advance to stage two on Monday, July 15, 2002.
The
first stage of the project, which began this April, has consisted
of the rehabilitation of the shoulder areas on I-95, northbound
and southbound, between Exits 13 and 15.
The
second stage will see a continuation of this work, south of the
original location, with shoulder rehabilitation scheduled to take
place between Exits 11 and 13, both northbound and southbound. Crews
will also begin the process of milling the roadway, in each direction,
between Exits 14 and 15, in order to rehabilitate the existing concrete
and overlay with asphalt pavement.
Off
peak lane closures on I-95 are still scheduled to occur from 7:00
pm to 6:00 am southbound and from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am northbound
Monday through Thursday.
The
project, which is scheduled to be completed in November, 2004, calls
for the reconstruction of the median areas, improved drainage systems,
new concrete barriers as well as the milling and resurfacing of
I-95, in each direction, from Exit 10 through Exit 15.
Motorists
are advised to exercise extra caution when traveling through this
and all other construction zones, and to allow for extra time to
arrive at their destinations.
