(September 3, 2024) — The Connecticut Department of Transportation has provided the following two-week look-ahead for the Tylerville Roundabouts project in Haddam:
Northern Roundabout
Anticipate alternating one-way traffic along Route 154 during the overnight hours, as drainage and water main work resume.
Southern Roundabout
The Southern Roundabout will continue to be very active. The biggest construction-related traffic impacts will be as follows:
1. Lane Shift of Route 154 occurred on August 31, 2024.
- The contractor re-striped the intersection of Route 154 to accommodate the new traffic barrier pattern. Concrete barrier was shifted on September, 3, 2024 to match the newly painted lines. This will be the new configuration for the near future.
2. Contractor plans to start full depth reconstruction at the southern limits of the south roundabout.
- Contractor will be excavating out the existing pavement and will be back-filling with processed aggregate. During this activity, the traveling public will be traveling along process aggregate, compacted gravel material, for the time being.
- During this time, the contractor will have cones and lane divider signs running along Route 154 to delineate where the traffic needs to go.
*Please note the contractor is allowed ten calendar days for the traveling public to ride along process aggregate before it needs to be paved. The public should use caution and should expect the pavement to be removed starting Monday, September 9, 2024.*
3. The remaining traffic impacts will be truck traffic entering and exiting the site for material and equipment deliveries.
Please note the contractor is not allowed to impact traffic within the following time frames (within shifting stages):
Monday through Friday: 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
All traffic patterns and/or project work are subject to change as necessary. Construction of this nature requires flexibility, as it requires the coordination of many sub-contractors and sequenced work.
