A $125 million competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) was awarded to the Connecticut to support the third phase of a construction project designed to reconfigure the dangerous roadway interchange that connects Interstate 91, Interstate 691 and Conn. Route 15 in Meriden. The funding was delivered to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) through President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), which he signed into law three years ago. Currently, CTDOT is building the second of the project’s three phases. The construction’s overall goal is to reduce congestion and improve safety by eliminating dangerous weaving points, correcting roadway geometry, and adding multi-lane exits. Upon completion of Phase 3, expected in 2030, the project will see the replacement and rehabilitation of several bridges and the addition and extension of auxiliary lanes to reduce crashes and improve traffic flow.
