East Lyme, Connecticut, lies on Niantic Bay and is part of the Long Island Sound. The town has a steadily increasing population of nearly 20,000. Running through the town is I-95, which the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) and Manafort Brothers, Inc. are reconfiguring to improve safety and increase mobility. The project is taking place along a 1.33-mile stretch of I-95. The average daily traffic along this stretch is 80,000, and congestion is common. “The project will correct the insufficient sight lines that people have while traveling along the interstate,” said Andrew Millovitsch, the CTDOT Project Engineer overseeing the project. A final project element involves the installation of 16 retaining walls. Their size will vary from small to huge structures. The retaining walls are being installed to maintain the elevation changes. Located in Plainville, Connecticut, Manafort Brothers Inc. is a “demolition and construction company that performs specialty construction and demolition services as well as general contracting services,” according to their website.
