The Department of Transportation (DOT) will host a virtual public information hearing on June 13th at 7:00 PM concerning the proposed elimination of Bridge Nos 00388 and 00389 in Glastonbury and the proposed installation of a new roundabout. The project is identified as State Project No. 0053-0189.

Project overview per the DOT website:

"The proposed project involves the removal of the superstructure of Bridge No. 00388. The superstructure and substructure (to the footings) of Bridge No. 00389 (Route 17 SB Ramp 007 over New London Tpke.) will also be removed. The existing Bridge No. 00388 span under Route 17 NB will be filled and a new roadway will be constructed on top of the filled span. The Route 17 SB Ramp 007 pavement will be removed from the beginning of the ramp to the New London Tpke (NLT) / Oak St. intersection.  Route 17 SB Ramp 005 will be reconfigured at the intersection with NLT and a new roundabout will be constructed. A new traffic signal will be installed at intersection of NLT / Oak St. / Williams Street E. In addition, there may be some work on the Route 17 NB on-ramp from New London, which would include reconfiguration of the ramp and pavement removal."
