CT DOT To Hold Information Meetings on I-84 Danbury Flex Lane

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will hold two public information meetings about the proposed I-84 Flex Lane in Danbury.

The first meeting will be in-person on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the St. Joseph Church Hall at 376 Main Street in Danbury.  In case of inclement weather, the alternate date is Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. During the first hour, individuals can view project-related materials and discuss any questions with the project team as part of an open house.

The CTDOT notes that the Flex Lane is an independent project resulting from the I-84 Danbury Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study. This project also includes improvements to southbound Route 7 near westbound I-84 at Exit 7 to help traffic flow more smoothly and improve overall corridor operations.

Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2028 based on the availability of funding and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $250 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 90% federal funds and 10% state funds.
