HARTFORD, CT — The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) published a five-year Capital Plan outlining more than $15 billion in transportation projects planned across Connecticut during federal fiscal years 2026-2030.
Supported by continued federal and state investments, Connecticut’s transportation infrastructure is steadily improving. CTDOT is advancing projects ranging from bridge repairs and roadway redesigns to public transit improvements and facility upgrades, making travel safer and more accessible.
“With this plan, we’re rebuilding roads and bridges, modernizing public transportation, and making it easier and safer to travel in Connecticut,” CTDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto said. “These long-term investments will improve safety, better connect our towns and cities, and help our state economy thrive.”
