The Town of Wethersfield has been awarded $987,600 in Local Transportation Capital Improvements Program (LOTCIP) funds from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) for pavement rehabilitation along Highland Street from the Rocky Hill Town Line to Thornbush Road. The project will include milling and replacing asphalt, replacement of bituminous concrete curb, driveway aprons and sidewalk ramps as required, and striping of new shoulder lines throughout the project area. The project also includes installation of 320 linear feet of new concrete sidewalk to connect to the existing sidewalk system in Rocky Hill, and installation of new crosswalks, concrete sidewalk ramps and associated signage near the Town line and at the intersection with Thornbush Road.

The semi-final design plan set is available for review. The public is encouraged to contact Derrick Gregor, Town Engineer, at 860-721-2853 or derrick.gregor@wethersfieldct.gov with any questions, comments or concerns regarding the project. Abutting property owners will receive a letter with information regarding the selected contractor, impacts to property access and anticipated schedule prior to construction. At this time, pending approvals from CRCOG and DOT, the Town anticipates the project will be bid this summer with construction starting in late-August or September.
