Branford: full depth reconstruction of east industrial road

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2.81 million to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 8, 2025, to fund full-depth reconstruction of East Industrial Road in Branford, Connecticut. The project encompasses roadway reconstruction from Leetes Island Road extending approximately 1,500 feet beyond the Interstate 95 southbound Exit 56 ramps. Funding was appropriated in Fiscal Year 2022 through Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (Demo ID CT189).

CTDOT, serving as the prime awardee, passed through project funding to the Town of Branford Town Hall as sub-grantee on July 31, 2025, to execute the full-depth road reconstruction work. The Highway Planning and Construction program supports comprehensive highway infrastructure improvements, preservation activities, and related transportation projects administered by state departments of transportation in coordination with local authorities. This project directly aligns with the program's eligible activities for highway reconstruction and preservation on public roads, with typical project durations extending over multiple years depending on scope and complexity.
