Some overnight road work is underway along a five mile stretch of highway through Danbury. 

The state Department of Transportation is milling and paving both east and westbound between exits 3 and 8.  The overnight work started Sunday and is being done between 8pm and 5:30am.  The work is scheduled to be completed by mid-July.  Various lane closures will be set up for the overnight roadwork each week night. 

The DOT says modifications or extensions to the schedule may be needed due to weather delays or other unforseen circumstances.
