The agency’s four-year outlook for capital projects, the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, contains 223 projects and $3.1 billion in federal funds that will be matched with $864.5 million from the state and $17 million from local governments. The largest projects in the document, which is abbreviated as STIP, include the $90 million signalization of the New Haven Line, including the Waterbury Branch, along with the ongoing rehabilitation of the Waterbury Mixmaster at the junction of Interstate 84 and Route 8, which has a price of more than $150 million. The DOT is required to submit the document to the federal government once every four years under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act.
