State officials said the construction on interstates 91 and 691, and Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) interchange in Meriden will address the high number of motor vehicle incidents that have resulted in more than 2,200 crashes over that past 11 years. Between Oct. 2, 2023 — after construction began — and Aug. 1, there were 1,419 crashes, nearly 300 of which resulted in injuries, and two fatalities as drivers made their way through the active work zone, according to data provided by Connecticut Department of Transportation spokesperson Eva Zymaris. The goal of the state project, estimated to be complete by 2030, is to make the interchange safer for drivers. Once done, crews will have replaced and rehabilitated several bridges in the corridor and improved traffic flow across multiple travel lanes, Zymaris said.
