To enhance mobility and alleviate congestion in Stratford, particularly at I-95’s crucial connection point with U.S. Route 1, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) initiated the reconstruction of Interchange 33, transforming it into a full “diamond” interchange. STV served as the prime design consultant, playing a key role in enhancing access and promoting economic development in this corridor.
Beyond the introduction of new highway ramps and improvements to the adjacent intersection, the project involved constructing a new bridge and widening an existing one. Notably, this area presented challenges due to a high level of contaminated materials, prompting our team to employ an innovative design approach to minimize disruption.
STV, in concert with CTDOT, coordinated with neighboring communities and businesses in Milford to deliver this project. In recognition of this effort, the American Council of Engineering Companies of Connecticut honored the project with an Engineering Excellence Award.
