A two-car collision on Route 9 south in Middletown on Sept. 28 that sent two people to the hospital in serious condition has spotlighted the risks motorists can face when trying to enter the highway from the Miller Street neighborhood. The Miller and Bridge streets access road in the city’s North End, located some 600 feet from Exit 24 at St. Johns Square, has been designated by the state Department of Transportation as a dangerous area. Widening and full-depth reconstruction will occur on the east side of Bridge Street to incorporate an additional through lane, the DOT said. Eighty percent of the cost of construction will be paid for through federal funds, and 20 percent will come from the state, according to the DOT website.
