Installations and Revisions of Traffic Control Signals in Various Cities and Towns

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment to meet current Department standards at 14 locations in the cities/towns of Ashford, Columbia, Durham, East Hampton, East Lyme, Groton, Ledyard, Middletown, Montville, Old Lyme, Waterford, and Windham.

At applicable locations, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded in an effort to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. Locations with existing flashing beacons will be replaced in kind unless removal or other traffic control devices are warranted. The following intersections are included:

It is the Department’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development. At this time, it is anticipated that an informational meeting or formal public hearing will not be necessary.

The design plans for this project are expected to be completed in February 2021 with a tentative advertising date for construction of May 2021.
