(August 19, 2024) — The Connecticut Department of Transportation has provided the following two-week lookahead for the Tylerville Roundabouts project in Haddam:
Northern Roundabout
No work is expected on the Northern Roundabout over the next couple of weeks. The contractor, Richards, has allocated all of its manpower to the day shift for the upcoming Bridge Install. Nightwork/Drainage will resume during the first weeks of September.
Southern Roundabout
The Southern Roundabout will continue to be very active. Most of the work here will still occur off the roadway behind the barrier and pertain to the bridge construction. The current orientation continues as the staging for the foreseeable future. There will be slight lane adjustments on Route 154 going both north and south at the intersection with the Route 82 Connector. The contractor will be placing concrete barriers and removing the existing guiderail to accommodate these lane shifts. The biggest construction related traffic impacts will be as follows:
- Truck traffic entering and exiting the site.
- The Pre-Cast Concrete bridge is scheduled to be set on Tuesday August 27, 2024 (tentative date). This work will include delivery of the thirteen excessively large pre-cast concrete pieces, and the unloading and setting of each piece. Richards will be utilizing a crane while setting the pieces, which may require stoppage of traffic. NOTE: The contractor is allowed ten minutes of full vehicle stoppage at a time.
- Material/Equipment Deliveries.
Monday through Friday: 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
