CTDOT said the projects are intended to modernize roadways and improve safety standards through the replacement or removal of multiple retaining walls in Central Connecticut. The agency has not announced construction yet, but said work is anticipated to begin in spring 2028. That timeline is pending funding availability, right-of-way acquisition and permit approvals, according to CTDOT.

The estimated construction cost for the projects is approximately $13 million, according to CTDOT.
