Drivers may encounter roadwork early this week as road projects begin in two Connecticut cities.
The East Main Street on-ramp to Route 15 North, Interstate 91 North, and Interstate 691 West in Meriden will be closed continuously to all traffic starting Monday and it will last several weeks, according to the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
Roadwork reconstruction requires the East Main Street ramp closures, according to the DOT. Traffic signage will guide motorist through the work zone.
According to the Department of Transportation, there may be modifications or extensions to this schedule due to weather delays or unforeseen conditions. This is part of the I-91/I-691/Route 15 Interchange Improvements project.
The area around the interchange is often backed up significantly. The $185 million interchange project was awarded to O&G Industries and is scheduled to be completed Nov. 30, 2028, according to DOT.
Snow is expected Tuesday in parts of Connecticut.
In Hartford, the Morgan Street on-ramp to Interstate 84 East will be closed starting Tuesday at 7 p.m. until 5 a.m., according to the DOT. The project, performed by State Forces, will replace manhole structures. Traffic will be detoured. The work may be modified or delayed during unforeseen conditions and bad weather.
In Avon, there will be a virtual public information meeting in February regarding the replacement of a bridge that carries Route 10 between Talcott Notch Road and Old Farms Road intersections on Feb. 4, 2026 at 6:30 p.m.
“The purpose of the meeting is to present additional Complete Streets elements introduced to the project that will ensure safety improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists on Route 10 between the Talcott Notch Road and Old Farms Road intersections,” the Connecticut DOT’s Francisco Fadu said. “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
The project, which includes slope easements and drainage, is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2027, and the cost is approximately $7 million. The DOT saID 80% of the project will be paid in federal funds and 20% will be paid with state funds.
The public information meeting is being held to allow the local community to comment or ask questions. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
