A local infrastructure project could get federal funding.  The U.S. House passed the INVEST Act yesterday.  5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is seeking $7.4 million for Route 202 intersection improvements in Brookfield. 

Plans call for creating a 4-way signalized intersection with Old New Milford Road and a commercial driveway on Federal Road.  There will also be dedicated left-turn lanes.  The northern end of Old New Milford Road will be converted to one-way to allow vehicles to enter from Route 202. 

The goal is to also address congestion by updating traffic signals from the BJ's/Kohls intersection to Route 133 and widen Federal Road between the BJ's/Kohl's intersection to the Costco intersection, with dedicated turn lanes.  Sidewalks would also be added throughout that stretch. 

Paving will also bring Federal Road to a state of good repair.
