I-95 Expansion in Connecticut Hinges on Delayed Infrastructure Bill

Connecticut officials said the addition of a new lane on I-95 in Fairfield County would begin as soon as Congress passes President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, which has been delayed in the U.S. House.

To make the point that the state’s most congested highway needs upgrades, Governor Ned Lamont and other elected officials visited the underpass of a bridge on I-95 in Stamford. It was originally was built during the Eisenhower administration, a WSHU public radio report said.

“I am so hopeful that the House is going to vote on this very soon, we get this passed," Lamont said. "And we are not just patching a little tar next time, we are replacing this bridge and what it means to our state."
