Dear Neighbor,
The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced a milling and resurfacing project will be performed on Route 113 in Bridgeport and Stratford starting next Sunday, June 16.

The milling segment of the project is expected to be performed Sunday, June 16 through Wednesday, June 19, and the resurfacing segment of this project is expected to be performed Sunday, June 23 through Friday, June 28.


 

Motorists can expect lane closures on Route 113 (Hollister Avenue/Lordship Blvd.) from Orange Street in Bridgeport to Woodend Road Stratford.  The I-95 northbound Exit 30 off-ramp may be closed temporarily for a few hours during the milling and resurfacing portion of this project. The detour will be to get off I-95 northbound Exit 31 (Honeyspot Road), take a left at the end of the ramp, then take another left onto I-95 southbound, then get off Exit 30 (Surf Ave). Take a left at the end of the ramp which will take you to Lordship Boulevard. Traffic control personnel and signing patterns will guide motorists through the work zone. The night work schedule for this project is 7:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., Sunday night through Friday morning. 

 

Motorists should be aware that modifications or extensions to this schedule may become necessary due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed when driving in this area.  
 
Two great bills were signed into law this week: HB 5001, which supports seniors with access to resources that will provide them with the best quality of life possible, and HB 5002, which makes child care and early childhood education more affordable and accessible.

A top priority of the General Assembly is providing the best quality of life for Connecticut residents, and these bills do just that.
 

ATTN EBT Recipients!

As you are likely aware, this EBT skimming scam is a nationwide issue. It is also a technology-driven crime committed, at times, by organized rings in which the criminals steal Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card information by installing electronic devices on ATMs or store point-of-sale (POS) terminals to capture card information, which is commonly referred to as skimming.

Connecticut, through DSS, was one of the first states in the nation to implement a replacement benefit plan, having done so in June 2023. Here are some tips for recipients to keep your benefits safe.

Unsecured loads are dangerous, illegal, expensive, and preventable. As we take more beach and camping trips, keep these steps in mind!
