This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

A virtual public informational meeting will be held via Zoom on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. Registration is required. The purpose of this project is to replace aging and outdated traffic signal infrastructure with new equipment to fit current standards.

A question and answer (Q&A) session will immediately follow the presentation, which will be recorded.

According to the CTDOT, full replacements may include span poles, mast arms, pedestals, signal heads, span wires, conduits, vehicle detection equipment, and/or signing and pavement markings. Both full and partial replacements may include modifications to pedestrian control features such as pedestrian countdown heads, push buttons, sidewalk ramps, and sidewalk extensions.

Full replacement is proposed for Route 63 (Straits Tpke) at Country Club Roads East & West.

Construction is expected to start spring 2027. The estimated cost is $14 million with 100% state funds.

Comments and questions can be submitted during the two-week public comment period after the meeting by Monday, August 25, 2025, to:
