Construction project slated for I-84 exits 5 and 6 in Danbury

Signs will be going up next week along the highway saying that a construction project will be starting soon in Danbury.  The work is scheduled both east and westbound on I-84 by exits 5 and 6, on North Street and Second Avenue.

 

Eastbound, the bridge over Kohanza Street will be widened so the exit 5 off ramp can be lengthened.  Expanding the bridge over Tamarak Avenue will allow the exit 6 on ramp to be lengthened before merging into highway traffic.

 

Westbound at exit 6, the off ramp will be lengthened.  State Department of Transportation Supervising Engineer Matthew Cleary says the whole design of that intersection will be realigned.  I-84 will also be widened headed into the exit 5 off ramp.

 

Route 37, North Street, will be widened so there will be two through lanes in each direction.  Various exclusive turning lanes will also be added.  Two retaining walls will be built along the North Street Shopping Center and the traffic signals will be re-timed.

 

Utility work and drainage on Second Avenue will be done.

 

Construction schedule:

  • Exit 5 eastbound off-ramp 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
  • Exit 6 westbound off-ramp 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to  6 a.m. 
  • Exit 5 westbound off-ramp and exit 6 eastbound on-ramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 
  • Route 37 from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
  • On Saturdays and Sundays, work will be limited to 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. on all project roadways.
