Road Closure for Mixmaster Rehabilitation Project

July 31, 2023

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will close exit 31 on Route 8 northbound to I-84 eastbound for approximately six weeks starting tonight at 10 P.M. The construction work is tied to the Route 8/I-84 Mixmaster rehabilitation project in Waterbury.

Drivers looking to access I-84 eastbound from Route 8 northbound will need to take exit 35, utilize the U-turn to proceed southbound on Route 8, and then take exit 31. Advanced signage will be posted along both Route 8 and exit 35.

Please note the start of this closure is subject to change based on weather and CTDOT resources. CTDOT is working to inform drivers and residents of current and upcoming construction activities through project newsletters, press notices, travel alerts, social media, as well as the project website. CLICK HERE to learn more.
