Improvements to Federal Road in Brookfield are being planned.  The designs for southern Federal Road from White Turkey Road to Route 133 call for 11-foot travel lanes, 5-foot shoulders, 5-foot sidewalks, pedestrian cross walks, new signals and bicycle detection at signalized intersections. 

Brookfield First Selectman Bill Tinsley says the top priority addresses the need for north and southbound turn lanes and traffic signals at the ShopRite/Chick-fil-A traffic signal. 

Since Federal Road is technically Route 202, a state road, Department of Transportation funds will be used for the work.  The improvements are planned over the next five years.
