Bridge repairs, roadway redesigns, public transit improvements and facility upgrades are among the transportation infrastructure improvements included in the Connecticut Department of Transportation‘s vast five-year Capital Plan. The plan outlines $15 billion in transportation projects planned across Connecticut during the federal fiscal years 2026-30. CTDOT spokesperson Josh Morgan said the Capital Plan, funded by federal and state investments, is the “roadmap” for the CTDOT for the next five years, and work will be done on all four corners of the state. “The Capital Plan programs $15.70 billion in planned funding to improve safety and mobility throughout the state,” Morgan said. “It’s a document that outlays and outlines the priorities as we look to improve transportation infrastructure. It’s billions of dollars that’s touching everything from train stations to railroads, bridges, paving, simple bridge maintenance. It’s really an all-encompassing document and something is really impactful.” For the fiscal year of 2026, the department is anticipating approximately $3.78 billion in federal and state capital funding for all transportation modes. The 2026 Capital Program is highlighted by $2.16 billion for bus and rail. This includes improvements to the MOVE New Haven Bus Rapid Transit System and upgrading train stations along the Waterbury Branch Line and Hartford Line and replacing the Devon Railroad Bridge between Milford and Stratford.
