The Connecticut Department of Transportation's (Department) Office of Engineering is currently developing plans under the subject project to upgrade the intersection of Route 10/202 at East Street and Notch Road into a modern roundabout in Granby.

The purpose of this project is to improve traffic operations and safety at the intersection. 

The present schedule indicates that the design will be completed in October 2019, with construction anticipated to start in spring 2020. This project will be undertaken with eighty percent (80%) federal funds and twenty percent (20%) state funds.

It is the Department's policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project's development.  A public information meeting will be conducted upon the completion of the preliminary design.  At this time, it is not anticipated that a formal public hearing will be necessary.

Anyone interested in receiving information on this project may do so by contacting Mr. William W. Britnell, Principal Engineer of Highway Design, at (860) 594-3274, or by e-mail at William.Britnell@ct.gov.  Please make reference to State Project Number 0055-0141.
