Upcoming Railroad Crossing Safety Improvement Project on Route 6

The Connecticut Department of Transportation has given a warning for detours during construction on a railroad crossing on Route 6 near the intersection of Route 69 (Burlington Avenue). Construction will take place during mid-July.

The work to replace the railroad crossing will require a vehicle detour for approximately three days. Bicyclists and pedestrians will still be able to cross through a designated area and will not be detoured. Posted State Highway detours will utilize Routes 229, 72, and 69 to bypass the construction site. Motorists and Commercial Vehicle Operators are required to utilize posted detour routes to avoid local streets and low underpasses. Businesses on Route 6 will remain open during the construction.

Anyone with questions are encouraged to contact the CTDOT Customer Care Center at (860) 594-2560 or DOT.CustomerCare@ct.gov.
