The Connecticut Department of Transportation plans a big change in a highway ramp and the project is intended to improve safety, according to the agency. The planned changes are for improvements at Exit 46 on Route 15, according to the agency. The exit is close to the Hero’s Tunnel that takes traffic under West Rock between New Haven and Hamden. The estimated construction cost for the project is $90 million, according to the agency. The project is anticipated to be done with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds. “The installation of acceleration and deceleration lanes on Exit 46 will improve safety, mobility, and connectivity on Route 15, and the immediate connections with Route 69 and Route 63,” Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Jeffrey Pfaffinger said, in a statement. “The project also proposes to relocate the existing Route 15 northbound on-ramp to a new loop ramp,” he said. “We encourage the public to attend this (Feb. 3) meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
