Road Work on Shetucket Turnpike
8/26/25
Roadwork will begin on Shetucket Turnpike on Tuesday, August 27. The first part of the road project is MRT application. Felix A. Marino Co Inc has been contracted to treat Shetucket Turnpike with Reclamite, an asphalt pavement Maltene rejuvenator. Maltene Replacement Technology (MRT) extends the life of asphalt pavements and is part of the Town's road preservation plan. One lane will always be open for thru traffic. Sand is applied to the road after the MRT application and will be removed in a week or so. Speed limit will be reduced to 15mph due to the sand. In about two weeks, crack sealing will start.
CTDOT is Developing Plants to Replace Speed Limit Signs on Local Rural Roads Throughout Connecticut
7/9/25
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to replace municipally owned and maintained post-mounted sheet aluminum speed limit signs on municipally owned rural roads. All existing speed limit signs along roadways included in this project will be replaced with new, retroreflective signs to ensure proper placement and compliance with current federal guidelines.
The fatality rate on these types of roads has increased over the past 2 years. Additionally, from 2020 to 2021, 19% of all crashes were speeding related. As such, one of the State's safety initiatives is to replace speed limit signs on higher-risk rural roads to increase visibility, ensure compliance with standards, and assist with enforcement efforts. CTDOT will coordinate with the towns during the design phase. The design plans for this project are expected to be completed in October 2025 with a tentative advertising date for construction of December 2025.
It is CTDOT's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken and important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project's development. Anyone interested in requesting information on these projects may do so by contacting Balazs Szoke, Project Manager at (860) 594-2745 or via email at Balazs.Szoke@ct.gov. Please refer to Project 0170-3756.
