Plans to Upgrade Exit 30D on Route 8

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is moving forward with a plan to improve safety and traffic in Waterbury on Route 8 and West Main Street. Here’s what it will look like: 🚗 A new Exit 30D off-ramp: CTDOT will move the Route 8 Southbound Exit 30D ramp to a new location at Watertown Avenue, directly across from Robbins Street (about 750 feet north of West Main Street). This change will create a safer, more straightforward connection for drivers entering the neighborhood. ↔️ Two-way traffic on Watertown Avenue: Watertown Avenue will shift from one-way traffic to a two-way street, making it easier to navigate and improving local access. 🛣️ Bridge removal: CTDOT will remove the two existing bridges that currently carry Route 8 and the Exit 30D ramp over Watertown Avenue as part of the redesign. 🚦 Improvements on West Main Street: The project will also upgrade West Main Street and add a new traffic signal at Highland Avenue to improve safety and reduce congestion. CTDOT expects to complete the design in spring 2029 and begin construction in the fall later that year.
