To keep you informed, I want to let you know that I just received the following information from the state Department of Transportation:
I assume that this is meant to say that it will be completed in January of 2012, not 2011, since it is starting work in the summer of 2011.NEWINGTON, CT – State Transportation Commissioner Jeffrey A. Parker announced today that the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s Office of Engineering is developing plans to improve a section of I-84 in the City of New Britain and the Town of Farmington.“It is the Department’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken,” said Parker. “It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development.” It is not anticipated that an informational meeting or a formal public hearing will be held for this project due to the limited nature of the proposed work.The project involves the milling and placement of a 3-inch Hot Mix Asphalt overlay on I-84, from approximately 0.3 mile north of the Route 72 interchange in the City of New Britain northerly to the Route 6 interchange in the Town of Farmington, to extend the service life of the existing pavement.The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in January 2011, with construction anticipated to start in summer 2011. This project will be undertaken with 40% Federal and 60% State funds.Anyone interested in receiving information on this project may do so by contacting Mr. Scott A. Hill, Manager of State Design, at (860) 594-3272, or by e-mail at scott.hill@ct.gov. Please make reference to State Project No. 88-180.
