$76M Project Aims To Reduce Congestion On I-95 In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — Officials last Friday broke ground in Stamford on a $76 million project aimed at reducing congestion in one of the most heavily trafficked areas of Interstate-95.

Gov. Ned Lamont posted on the social media platform X that the project will reduce congestion and increase safety on I-95 in the area around Exits 6 and 7.

"This includes adding additional lanes of travel in each direction and other improvements," Lamont said.

There won't be any daytime road closures associated with the project, Stamford Advocate said.

Construction on the new lanes is expected to be finished by the end of 2025.

The project, which is supported by a combination of state and federal funding, also includes rehabilitating the pavement in this region to address deteriorated areas, the implementation of safety upgrades, improvements to drainage for stormwater that includes adding new catch basins, and the creation of noise walls in the southbound direction, Lamont's office noted.
