Road Work on Route 113 to Address Flooding

November 27, 2024


Drivers should expect delays next week on Route 113 (Main Street) adjacent to Sikorsky Airport as crews rebuild the road and install a cofferdam system to address intermittent flooding. While road work is underway, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) expects that Main Street will be closed starting Monday, December 2 through Friday, December 13.
 
There will be detours around the airport using the following roads:
  • Access Road
  • Lordship Boulevard
  • Oak Bluff Avenue
  • Prospect Drive
  • Stratford Road
Crews will set up traffic control signs to help drivers through the work zone. Please be alert, and drive carefully in that area.

CTDOT hired a contractor to reduce flooding with an environmentally friendly plan to permanently re-establish the elevation of Route 113. It runs through an environmentally sensitive tidal wetland with challenging soil conditions. This project demonstrates CTDOT’s commitment to balancing infrastructure improvements with environmental stewardship.
