SENATOR ANWAR GRATEFUL AS SOUTH WINDSOR RECEIVES $4.1 MILLION FOR ROAD RECONSTRUCTION

Today, State Senator Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) was grateful South Windsor was awarded $4,137,576 in transportation funds through the Connecticut Department of Transportation to support road reconstruction work. The funds support efforts to improve Dart Hill Road for local travelers.

This $4.1 million allocation comes as part of a $57.3 million release of funds for 17 projects across the state through the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program, which has operated since 2013 to provide state support to municipalities for local infrastructure projects.

According to South Windsor town information, the reconstruction work on Dart Hill Road will include new drainage, improved alignments, a new road base, new pavement, and new sidewalks on the north side of the road. Work started in June and is expected to be complete in November.

“This local support will mean so much for town residents, as Dart Hill Road is an often-traveled road connecting Ellington Road and bringing motorists from South Windsor to Vernon and vice versa,” said Sen. Anwar. “Improving this connection point will deliver real benefits for our town and I’m pleased by and grateful for the state’s investments in our local transportation needs.”

“LOTCIP is delivering state funds to projects that make a difference in local communities. By taking on the burden of dealing with federal red tape, CTDOT helps municipalities deliver important projects more efficiently and quickly,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.
