DOT Update: Exit Numbers Changing on Route 2 and Route 11 in Eastern Connecticut

From the Connecticut Department of Transportation-

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that exit numbering will be revised on Route 2 both east and westbound from Norwich to Hartford, and Route 11 both north and southbound. This project is scheduled to occur on Tuesday, January 7 and be completed by February 2025. The project 0172-0490 consists of the exit renumbering and replacement of highway signs along the Route 2 and Route 11 corridors that have reached or exceeded their useful life. The exits are being renumbered to mileage-based numbering to conform to Federal standards and are part of a multi-year effort on all the State’s highways. 

Motorists can expect to see both old and new exit numbers displayed throughout the transition for a few days while work progresses. Variable message signs will be advising motorists in the area for the week prior to work.
