Gov. Lamont announces progress on Connecticut infrastructure
On April 27, 2026, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced major progress on the ongoing Interstate 91, Interstate 691 and Route 15 interchange reconfiguration project, including the on-time and on-budget completion of phase one, continued advancement of phase two and the start of phase three.
Phase two, which has been underway for two years, remains on track for completion by 2028, while the full three-phase program is expected to be completed by 2030.
The new Route 15 northbound bridge over I-91 in Meriden, Conn., is scheduled to open to traffic on May 1, 2026. The first half of the bridge is complete, while the second half will be constructed in the next stage.
“This project to improve this major traffic corridor in central Connecticut was seriously needed and is focused on supporting the needs of our state’s infrastructure for decades to come,” said Lamont. “By modernizing this critical interchange, we will ease congestion for commuters, improve the movement of goods across our state and support long-term economic growth. From day one, we committed to delivering these improvements on time and on budget. Today’s progress shows we are getting it done for the people and businesses who rely on this corridor every day.”
