A $2.65 million state grant-funded project to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety along White Street at the Locust Avenue and Wildman Street intersection is currently underway near downtown Danbury. The “main reason” behind the project is to alleviate bottlenecked traffic flows at the intersection, which is near Western Connecticut State University’s midtown campus, Danbury Traffic Engineer Veera Karukonda said. The traffic component of the project includes road-widening work along the westbound side of White Street, which began several weeks earlier. The westbound travel side of the road will get an additional lane approaching Locust Avenue, which will allow motorists to either drive straight or turn right. The lane will continue on White Street and merge back to two lanes before the Eighth Avenue intersection. The project is funded with a grant the city was awarded five years ago, he said.
