HARTFORD — The Connecticut Department of Transportation work replacing exit signs on Routes 9, 17 and 82, which began in December 2020, is expected to be finished by the spring.
Work involves the replacement of signs and supports along Route 9, from I-95 in Old Saybrook to I-84 in Farmington; Route 17, from the South Main Street intersection to Route 9 in Middletown; Route 82, from Route 9 to the Route 154 intersection in Chester and Haddam; and the associated on-ramps and off-ramps, according to a press release.
The contract was awarded to Ducci Electrical Contractors of Farmington at a cost of $5.64 million Oct. 19, 2020, the DOT said.
The new signs and sign supports will be installed in accordance with the latest federal and state standards and guidelines.
The types of signs that will be replaced include, but are not limited to, large overhead and side mounted and smaller ones, such as mile markers, and exit gore, speed limit, merge and route confirmation signs, the news release said.
The existing signs have exceeded their useful service life and are in need of replacement. The project involves the replacement of only those signs that have exceeded their useful service life, have less than adequate retroreflectivity, have evidence of damage, or are no longer in compliance with federal and state standards and guidelines, the news release said.
To conform to federal standards, exits are required to be revised from the existing sequential numbering to mileage-based numbering. An “old exit” number will be posted adjacent to the signs for a minimum of two years while drivers become familiar with the change.
