Ned Lamont announced in April that the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) had begun construction on a major project along Interstate 95 in West Haven to replace two aging bridges and improve traffic flow in the area.

service life of 75 years, significantly improving long-term safety and reliability.
