Construction has started in Brookfield to make improvements to a heavily traveled area of Federal Road.  The work started along 500 foot length of State Route 202, where Ramen House restaurant was once located. The contractor, Burns Construction, is relocating an underground gas line operated by Eversource.  When completed, Burns will move to the Chic-Fil-A and ShopRite intersection where a similar task will be undertaken during overnight hours.  Over the next five months other contractors will be relocating utility poles and other underground utilities. Starting in April, roadway construction begins.  This project is fully funded by the state DOT and includes 53-hundred feet of roadway improvements on Federal Road, and 800 feet of improvements on Old New Milford Road. Improvements include sidewalks, additional turning lanes, new traffic signals and bus shelters. Construction is scheduled for completion in November 2023.
