This roadway type Kensington Avenue connects major development and activity Lewis Avenue centers within Meriden to each other as well Liberty Street as to activity centers in other towns and to Main Street (South Meriden) (Route 70) accessible expressways. The design of this Miller Avenue type of road typically accommodates higher Murdock Avenue speeds and greater traffic carrying capacity, New Hanover Avenue with enhanced horizontal and vertical North Broad Street (Route 5) geometry. To maintain the road’s thru-traffic North Colony Street carrying capacity and higher design speeds, Old Colony Road (Route 71) this road type would ideally provide a more Paddock Avenue (From Miller Avenue to restrictive level of access control to adjacent East Main Street) land uses than do other roads in the City. The Pomeroy Avenue (From East Main Street to Principal Arterial - Other roadways within Research Parkway) Meriden are East Main Street; West Main Pratt Street Street from Cook Avenue to the Chamberlain Preston Avenue (From East Main Street to I- Highway; Chamberlain Highway; and the 91) Berlin Turnpike.

  • Heroes Tunnel Project Route 15 Wilbur Cross Parkway State Project No
    HEROES TUNNEL PROJECT ROUTE 15 WILBUR CROSS PARKWAY STATE PROJECT NO. 167-108 PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT (Revised 7/3/18) PROJECT CONTEXT The Heroes Tunnel is located along the Wilbur Cross Parkway (Route 15) in the Town of Woodbridge and the City of New Haven, near the Town of Hamden border. The Heroes Tunnel is a 1,200-foot long tunnel, which passes through West Rock Ridge in New Haven and Woodbridge. The existing tunnel was constructed between spring 1948 and fall 1949 and consists of two 28-foot wide by 19-foot high barrels with horseshoe cross-sections. The northbound and southbound barrels of the tunnel consist of two 11-foot wide travel lanes with 6-inch shoulders and a 2-foot 6-inch wide raised maintenance walk on each side. The centerlines of the barrels are approximately 63 feet apart. It is the only tunnel to pass beneath a natural land feature in the State of Connecticut and is eligible for listing on both the National and State Registers of Historic Places. The Heroes Tunnel Project limits encompass the 1,200-foot tunnel and extend approximately 2,000 feet from the tunnel portals, in both the northbound and southbound directions, as illustrated in Figure 1 attached. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION NETWORK The Wilbur Cross Parkway is a limited access highway, classified as an urban principal arterial – other expressway, comprising a portion of Route 15 between Milford and Meriden where commercial vehicles, trailers, towed vehicles and buses are prohibited. As a continuation of the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield County, Route 15 is an important route between the New York City metropolitan area and central Connecticut.

    2021 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2020 CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF Transportation BUREAU OF POLICY AND PLANNING Office of Roadway Information Systems Roadway INVENTORY SECTION INTRODUCTION Each year, the Roadway Inventory Section within the Office of Roadway Information Systems produces this document entitled "Limited Access - State Numbered Highways," which lists all the limited access state highways in Connecticut. Limited access highways are defined as those that the Commissioner, with the advice and consent of the Governor and the Attorney General, designates as limited access highways to allow access only at highway intersections or designated points. This is provided by Section 13b-27 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This document is distributed within the Department of Transportation and the Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for information and use. The primary purpose to produce this document is to provide a certified copy to the Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA). The OSTA utilizes this annual listing to comply with Section 14-298 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This statute, among other directives, requires the OSTA to publish annually a list of limited access highways. In compliance with this statute, each year the OSTA publishes the listing on the Department of Transportation’s website (http://www.ct.gov/dot/osta). The following is a complete listing of all state numbered limited access highways in Connecticut and includes copies of Connecticut General Statute Section 13b-27 (Limited Access Highways) and Section 14-298 (Office of the State Traffic Administration). It should be noted that only those highways having a State Route Number, State Road Number, Interstate Route Number or United States Route Number are listed.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Located at the junction of Interstate 91 and Interstate 95, as well as a key access point to the Northeast Corridor rail line, New Haven is the highway and rail gateway to New England. It is the largest seaport in the state and the region and also the first city in Connecticut to have joined the national complete streets movement in 2008 by adopting the City’s Complete Streets Design Manual, balancing the needs of all roadway users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.
