NORWALK, CT — The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced planned overnight lane closures on Interstate 95 in Norwalk during upcoming bridge rehabilitation work.
The project is scheduled to begin Monday and expected to be completed in September, according to the City of Norwalk's Facebook page.
According to information provided by a DOT spokesperson, the department plans to rehabilitate two bridges in Norwalk: one that carries I-95 and one that carries Exit 15 southbound to Route 7 in Norwalk.
Scheduled work includes deck repairs, structural steel repairs and substructure repairs, as well as upgrades to the sidewalk running along the Exit 15 off-ramp, according to the DOT.
During the project, overnight lane closures will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on both sides of I-95 in addition to a lane closure on the Exit 15 southbound off-ramp, according to the DOT.
The on-ramp at Exit 15 on I-95 northbound will also be closed overnight with a detour in place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the first phase of work, which is planned to finish in the spring, according to the DOT.
The on-ramp will be open during the day, the DOT noted.
The city's Facebook post said work is scheduled to take place Monday to Friday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. and noted the schedule may be modified "due to weather delays or other unforeseen conditions."
The DOT also urged drivers to slow down and pay attention while traveling through the work zone.
