Work nears completion on missing Stratford exit ramps

Work to complete a $29 million reconstruction of the Interstate 95 Exit 33 interchange near the Milford border is ramping up — literally and figuratively. The new ramps will correct a quirk in the state’s highway history dating back to the days when toll plazas dotted I-95 and the Merritt Parkway. Removing the toll plazas was quick work. Getting the exits built has not been. Former Mayor John Harkins said Thursday he’s been looking forward to seeing the project completed for decades. “We started this in 1999,” Harkins, who was a state legislator at the time, said of the effort to get the interchange built. Michael Downes, Hoydick’s chief of staff, said the work is currently estimated to be done in June 2022, a month ahead of schedule.
