    Heroes Tunnel, Rte.

    15, West Rock Ridge

    The Department of Transportation (Department) will conduct a Public Informational and


    Scoping Meeting concerning the rehabilitation of the Heroes Tunnel, Route 15 through the
    West Rock Ridge in the town of Woodbridge, city of New Haven, and the town of Hamden.
    The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 22, 2016 at the Woodbridge Senior
    Center, 4 Meetinghouse Lane, Woodbridge, Connecticut. An open forum for individual
    discussions with Department officials will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by a formal
    presentation at 7:00 p.m.

    This project is identified as State Project No. 167-108 and is included in Governor Dannel P.
    Malloy’s “Let’s Go CT” transportation plan to invest in transportation infrastructure.

    The Heroes Tunnel consists of twin 1,200 foot long horseshoe-shaped tunnels, carrying two
    lanes of Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) traffic in each direction through the West Rock
    Ridge. The Heroes Tunnel carries approximately 71,000 vehicles daily and is a vital scenic
    connector between New York and Hartford, as well as an alternate expressway route to
    Interstates 95 and 91.

    Structural and drainage deficiencies have been identified within the Heroes Tunnel. The
    general deterioration necessitates either rehabilitation or replacement. In addition to the
    deteriorating condition of the tunnel, other characteristics are substandard such as the
    electrical and mechanical utilities, all of which would be upgraded or improved through this
    project.

    The Department has retained CDM Smith, Inc., a consulting firm with offices in New Haven,
    to lead the project through design. The project team recently completed a Preliminary
    Engineering Study where several rehabilitation alternatives were identified, including
    variations of tunnel rehabilitation, tunnel widening, and construction of a new third barrel.

    With this initial study complete, the next phase will focus on stakeholders (area residents,
    public officials, commuters, or anyone else who wishes to be involved with this project)
    engagement, preliminary design, and environmental documentation. Design alternatives
    will be reassessed with consideration given to stakeholder comments. To keep the public
    informed, the project team anticipates launching a website and hosting a series of additional
    public meetings in the coming months.
    This Public Informational and Scoping Meeting is being held as an initial opportunity for
    stakeholder participation and to allow open discussion of any views and comments the
    community may have concerning this proposed project.

    Department personnel will be available during the meeting to discuss this project.
