Project
to take 3 years to complete
Trumbull,
CT- Connecticut Department of Transportation officials have announced
work designed to enhance the Route 15 and 111 interchange in Trumbull,
continues.
Motorists
are reminded that the vertical clearance on Route 15 under the Route
111 bridge has been reduced to 10 feet. The reduction is due to
temporary scaffolding that has been erected under the bridge in
conjunction with the $10 million interchange project. It is expected
that the reduced clearance will remain in effect through spring,
2003.
The
work is taking place at Exit 48 on Route 15 and is scheduled to
be completed in September, 2004.
The
contract that calls for the complete re-configuration of the interchange
has been awarded to O&G Industries, Inc. of Torrington, Connecticut,
and will cost $9.83 million to build.
Lane
restrictions during the duration of the project will generally be
limited to off-peak and nighttime hours.
