Project Notification - Reconstruction of Route 161

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that drainage work on Route 161 will begin the week of March 10, 2025. Motorists are also advised that full depth reconstruction from Frontage Road to the entrance of Walgreens is expected to begin May 1, 2025.

Due to the significant raising of Route 161, approximately 2 feet in some locations, this work is planned to occur over nighttime work shifts. During the daytime hours, sections of the roadway will be gravel until grades are achieved and the area can be paved. Traveling on these gravel sections may cause traffic to move slower than usual.
