CTDOT to Discuss Route 15 Exit 46 Improvements at Meeting

Members of the public are invited to the Connecticut Department of Transportation Hybrid Public Information Meeting regarding State Project No. 0092-0689, Exit 46, Route 15 Improvements in New Haven and Woodbridge. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the New Haven Fire Training Academy, 230 Ella Grasso Blvd., New Haven, CT 06519. To register and learn more, visit portal.ct.gov/DOTNEWHAVEN0092-0689.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the community with an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and allow an open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements. A Q&A session will immediately follow the presentation.

This project plans to install acceleration and deceleration lanes on Exit 46, which will improve safety, mobility, and connectivity on Route 15, and the immediate connections with Route 69 and Route 63. The project also proposes to relocate the existing Route 15 northbound on-ramp to a new loop ramp.

Right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements consist of one full and two minor acquisitions.

Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring 2028 based on the availability of funding, acquisition of rights of way, and approval of permit(s). The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $90 million. This project is anticipated to be undertaken with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.

The public can submit comments and questions during the two-week public comment period following the meeting. Direct comments and questions by Tuesday, February 17, 2026, to (860) 594-2020 or Jeffrey Pfaffinger, Project Manager, at (860) 594-2767 or Jeffrey.Pfaffinger@ct.gov.
