Lane Closures Announced On I-91 In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced lane closures that will be in effect on I-91 north and southbound from Exit 15 to the Wallingford / Meriden town line for a project that starts next week.

Officials said that geotechnical subsurface investigations, otherwise known as soil borings, will be performed related to the replacement of the Carpenter Lane bridge over I-91 in Wallingford.

“These soil borings are performed to determine the type of soil, and the depth and location of the rock under the ground surface,” officials wrote in an updated advisory. “This information is used by the project team to design the bridge foundations to be constructed by a contractor.”

The activity, which had been previously scheduled to take place in June, was expected to begin this week.
