"This project will improve lane configuration along Route 2 Eastbound between Exits 6 and 8 to reduce weaving movements and maintain safe traffic flow,” DOT Transportation Project Manager Alvaro Garcia Jr. said. "We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design."

Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed project are not anticipated, DOT officials said.
