Survey On Route 146 Corridor Management Plan Draft Strategies Now Open

GUILFORD, CT — A survey on the Route 146 Corridor Management Plan Draft Strategies is now open for residents, according to a social media post from Guilford First Selectman Matt Hoey.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has partnered with the consulting firm VHB to develop a Corridor Management Plan (CMP) for Route 146 in Branford and Guilford.

The creation of the CMP will allow officials to review the Route 146 corridor and how to best protect its historical, cultural and environmental resources.

"The CMP will balance caring for these important resources with providing a safe roadway for all travelers and respecting the desires of the community, residents, and local businesses," according to the project website. "It will also look at ways to make the corridor more resilient—more prepared for climate risks like flooding."

CTDOT has gathered feedback from the Corridor Working Group, stakeholder interviews, public meetings and other public outreach to come up with a draft of strategies for Route 146.

The strategies are related to:

• Flooding and sea level rise management
• Bicycle and pedestrian access & safety
• Speed management
• Roadside safety
• Intersection safety
• Maintenance enhancements
• Environmental and historic preservation

The strategies will be finalized and presented again in 2024.
