Interchange 33 on Interstate 95 in Stratford Fully Opens Today
The Connecticut Department of Transportation issued the following press release regarding the opening the Exit 33 on I-95 in Stratford:
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) today announced that Exit 33 Southbound on Interstate 95 will be open to motorists at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 13, 2022. This follows the opening of the I-95 Exit 33 Northbound on-ramp in November 2021. The Interchange 33 Project in Stratford made the area a full interchange, with on- and off-ramps accessible in both highway directions.
“Stratford has been waiting a long time for a fully functional interchange at Exit 33,” State Representative Joe Gresko (D-Stratford), House Chair of the Environment Committee, said. “Thanks to the DOT for their continued investment in Stratford, for affording residents improved convenience, and paving the way for improved economic growth.”
The Interchange 33 Project added an Exit 33 on-ramp for the Northbound Lane and off-ramp for the Southbound Lane, making it a full interchange. Roadwork on Ferry Boulevard and Barnum Avenue Cutoff, traffic signal work, and drainage improvements, were also included in this project. It was funded with 80 percent federal funding and 20 percent state funding.
While the Exit 33 off-ramp opens today, workers will remain in the area over the next several weeks to finalize the project. Motorists are advised to use caution in work zones: slow down, keep a safe distance, and stay alert.
