Widening of 84 Commences after Groundbreaking Ceremony

Governor Dannel P. Malloy today joined Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner James P. Redeker and other local officials for a groundbreaking ceremony in Waterbury to mark the start of the widening of Interstate 84 in the city between the areas of Washington Street and Pierpont Road.  The project, which begins work this week, will see the creation of an additional, third lane on the highway in each direction.
 
"Our economic growth is directly tied to our transportation system, and if we want to develop our state and meet the challenges of the 21st Century, we need a modernized, best-in-class infrastructure for our residents. This widening project will decrease traffic congestion, improve traffic operations, and increase safety," Governor Malloy said.  "This project on I-84 in Waterbury is critical for the future development of this region of the state as we continue our efforts to keep Connecticut moving forward."
