The CT Department of Transportation will begin paving on Route 1 in Orange on May 22. The project involves the replacement of circular arch culverts constructed in 1926, widening the existing roadway and adding a turning lane on Boston Post Road. Short term detour routes will be provided during the period when the roadway requires milling and paving.

Lane Closure Info
