Guilford Streets To Receive Curve Warning Signs

GUILFORD, CT — To reduce the amount of fatal and severe injury crashes on curves located on locally owned and maintained roads, the Connecticut Department of Transportation is installing Curve Warning Signs on local roads.

However, before the warning signs are installed, Connecticut DOT is hosting a virtual public information meeting to allow the community to learn about the proposed project and open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements.

The virtual public information is set for Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m.

Guilford roads to receive Curve Warning Signs include Soundview Road, Long Hill Road, Little Meadow Road, Flag Marsh Road, Flat Meadow Road, Stepstone Hill Road, North Madison Road, Moose Hill Road, West Lake Avenue, and Whitefield Street.

Registration is required to participate in the meeting. Click here to register.

The meeting will also be live-streamed on YouTube, and close captioning will be provided. Non-English translation options will be available on Zoom and YouTube.

Connecticut DOT said enhanced horizontal curve delineation may be beneficial when the curve radius is sharp, there is limited sight distance to and around the curve, or unexpected geometric features within the curve, such as an intersection or change in curve radius.

Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024. The estimated construction cost for the project is about $630,000. The project is expected to be undertaken with 100 percent federal funds.

Members of the public can submit comments and questions during the two-week public comment period following the meeting. Please direct comments and questions by Dec. 26, 2023, to DOTProject0173-0520@ct.gov or 860-594-2020.
