The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will start noise barrier replacement on I-95 between Exit 32-33 in Stratford, starting on April 1.

This project is expected to be completed on Sunday, April 4, 2027.

The barrier has reached the end of its useful life and needs replacement. The barrier is being replaced to conform to current standards, which are in accordance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) MASH standards. The existing timber noise barriers have wood rot, broken or missing panels in many areas, as well as vegetative overgrowth.

LANE CLOSURE/DETOUR INFO

Motorists can expect lane closures on I-95 northbound at Exit 32-33 in Stratford beginning Wednesday. Traffic control personnel and signing patterns will guide motorists through the work zone. Lane closure operations will generally be limited to off-peak and nighttime hours. No lane closures will be permitted during weekday morning and afternoon peak travel periods (6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.). During daytime hours, work will primarily consist of shoulder closures only. One lane closure may occur during late morning and evening hours. During the overnight hours, up to two lane closures are permitted and rolling roadblocks.

The work schedule for this project is from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
