Durham Road Project Funding Pulled Due to Budget Crisis

DURHAM, CT - Scheduled road renovation projects to be funded with state money in Durham have been suspended. Governor Dannel P. Malloy made that announcement stating the state legislature needs to appropriate funds for the Special Transportation Fund to get the projects done.

"If Connecticut does not take the necessary action to allow to restart these vital projects, not only will it put the state's infrastructure into a further state of disrepair, it will hurt our economy," Malloy said. "The legislature must act this year to avoid potentially devastating setbacks to our transportation system.

The Durham project in jeopardy is:

-- Coe Road over Parmalee Brook ($459,000);

In addition various road projects in Durham and Middlefield that have statewide roads and/or land have also been suspended.
