Culvert Removal Under Route 190 (West Stafford Road) in Stafford

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing that the culvert removal under West Stafford Road will be performed on Route 190 in Stafford. This project is scheduled to occur on Monday, June 9, and be completed on Friday, September 5, 2025. The project 0134-0153 consists of removing the abandoned culvert that is under Route 190 to avoid future culvert failure and maintenance that may occur on Route 190.

This will be obtained by using shoulder and one lane closure at times.
