Occasional Traffic Stoppages on the Exit 49 Off-Ramp of Route 15 and of Exit 8 on Route 25 in Trumbull for Blasting Activities

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing occasional traffic stoppages to facilitate blasting activities associated with work on the Pequonnock River Trail project. Blasting will begin on or about May 3, 2017, and will continue for approximately 3 weeks. Any blasting will occur between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM and traffic on the ramps will be intermittently stopped for up to 10 minutes. Stoppages will occur on the Exit 49 Off-Ramp of Route 15 and of Exit 8 on Route 25 in Trumbull.
