ConnDOT’s I-84 Widening Project Will Make Road Safer, Increase Capacity

Interstate 84 winds through the city of Waterbury, Conn., with two lanes of traffic in each direction navigating a substandard “S” curve alignment near Harpers Ferry Road. Approximately 125,000 vehicles travel on the 55-year-old highway every day. High traffic volume causes congestion due to lack of roadway capacity and design deficiencies in ramps and weave areas. This segment of I-84 was designed to handle approximately 34,000 vehicles per day, but currently handles more than 105,000 vehicles daily, On March 30, 2015, the Connecticut Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Federal Highway Association, Lochner, AECOM, Ammann and Whitney, AI Engineers Inc., Comprehensive Environmental Inc. and I-84 Constructors joint venture, launched the I-84 Waterbury Project to widen a 2.7-mi. (4.3 km) segment between
Washington Street and Pierpont Road. Designed to improve safety, operation and highway capacity, the project will add a third lane and full-width shoulders in each direction to improve traffic flow and reduce current and future traffic congestion along the mainline and the local roadways. It also will realign the roadway near Harpers Ferry Road to eliminate the “S” curve, reconfigure interchange ramps and relocate the Mad River and Beaver Pond Brook. Project Details The reconstructed corridor will have 12-ft. (3.6 m) wide shoulders on both sides in each direction of travel and three 12-ft. wide travel lanes. A 10-ft. (3 m) wide concrete barrier section will divide the lanes traveling in different directions. Additionally, a 12-ft. auxiliary lane will be added on I-84 westbound between the on-ramp from Harpers Ferry Road and the off-ramp to Hamilton Avenue.C see I-84 page 4
