Project to Repair Heroes Tunnel on Rt. 15

Another topic covered in our meeting was an update on the CT Department of Transportation's project to repair the Heroes Tunnel on Route 15 through West Rock. The Town was invited to participate in a series of meetings that bring together the municipalities that will be affected by the DOT project. This collective effort is expected to result in a letter that will serve as a Memorandum of Record delivered to the state DOT to capture the concerns and needs of all three communities; Woodbridge, Hamden and New Haven. You can keep up-to-date on this DOT project by visiting the Heroes Tunnel Project website. I will also share more information with you as this initiative progresses.

The Selectmen also had a preliminary discussion at our meeting regarding what if any impact highway tolls might have on Woodbridge. We will seek further information and revisit this topic at future meetings as necessary.
