MERIDEN — Officials announced a recent update where the project stands for Meriden’s congested interchange, where state Route 15 and Interstates 91 and 691 meet. “We’re continuing to make progress on this important safety improvement project in Meriden,” said Eva Zymaris, spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation. The on-ramps for northbound Route 15 and Interstate-91 and eastbound I-691 from East Main Street will be closed as part of the ongoing construction in phase two, which began last year with some components starting in 2024. Paddock Avenue will have one-way alternating traffic controlled by a temporary signal, and be closed entirely during nighttime hours between Barr and Overlook Roads, though those hours were not posted. Roadwork will take place 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with lane and shoulder closures on all three roadways during these times. The $500 million project is designed, when completed, to reduce congestion along one of the state’s busiest corridors, seeing around 260,000 vehicles pass through the interchange daily.
