    I-95 northbound project in Groton, Stonington, and North Stonington

    Crews will be on Interstate 95 northbound in Groton, Stonington, and North Stonington, starting Monday, as part of a $38 million project to make the highway safer, improve the bridge, and replace some lighting, said state Rep. Aundré Bumgardner, D-Groton.

    Bumgardner said in the news release that construction crews at first will work during the day, with the right shoulder closed sporadically.

    “Night work will begin in May. The Connecticut Department of Transportation does not anticipate any ramp closures until late summer or early fall,” according to the release. ”Mainline roadwork will start in August.“

    The project, slated to be completed by November of 2024, is intended to improve “traffic and roadside safety while installing safety fencing on the bridge.”

    “Crews will also be adding new fences and sidewalks to the scenic overlook along I-95 northbound, east of interchange 89,” according to the release.

    Crews were already on the stretch of that road working this week.
