CONNECTICUT DOT PRESS RELEASE

11/24/2025

The Connecticut Department of Transportation’s (CTDOT) Office of Engineering is developing plans to remove and install pavement markings and signs in advance of and at highway-railroad grade crossings in twenty-three Connecticut towns, including Wallingford.

The project includes extending edge lines, lane lines and center lines across grade crossings to reduce the potential for vehicles turning into the railroad tracks. It also involves replacement of faded and/or damaged advance railroad crossing signs and markings, and selective trimming to improve visibility of grade crossings.

The design is currently scheduled to be complete in September 2026, with construction anticipated to start in the spring of 2027, assuming acceptance of the project and availability of funding. This project will be undertaken with 100% federal funds.

For questions or comments on this project, contact Sean Driscoll, Project Engineer, at (860) 594-2604 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Please make reference to State Project No. 0171-0517.
