“The purpose of the project is to reduce high-speed angle crashes at the intersection of US Route 6, Route 61, and Quassapaug Road,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Spokesperson Josh Morgan. “The implementation of a modern roundabout with pedestrian sidewalks will increase motorist safety and eliminate crossing conflict points. Bridge No. 01980 carrying US Route 6 over Lewis Atwood Brook will also be replaced as part of this project. We encourage the public to attend and share their feedback with the project team.
Right-of-way impacts will require temporary property easements to accommodate the construction.
Construction is anticipated to begin spring 2027 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $13 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
