The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will conduct a virtual public information meeting concerning the Horizontal Curve Warning Signs on Local Roads project on December 14, 2023 at 6 p.m. The meeting will take place on Zoom, and registration is required. A question and answer (Q&A) session will immediately follow the presentation, which will be recorded. For instructions on accessing the meeting and ways to provide comments and ask questions, please visit https://portal.ct.gov/DOT0174-0451.
The live stream of the formal presentation will begin at 6:00 p.m. The project is identified as State Project 0174-0451.
The purpose of the project is to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury crashes on curves located on locally-owned and maintained roads. Enhanced horizontal curve delineation may be beneficial when: the curve radius is sharp; there is limited sight distance to and around the curve; or there are unexpected geometric features within the curve, such as an intersection or change in the curve radius. Improved horizontal curve delineation is recognized nationally as a low-cost proven safety countermeasure.
Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed project are not anticipated.
Construction anticipated to begin Summer 2024. The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $305,000. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 100% Federal funds.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide the community an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and allow an open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements. Persons with limited internet access may also request that project information be mailed to them within one week by contacting Balazs Szoke (TrafficSafety.DOT@ct.gov; 860-594-2745).
