SENATOR MAHER HAPPY TO WELCOME $2.7 MILLION FOR WESTON ROAD REHABILITATION

Today, State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton) was happy as Weston was awarded $2,714,809 in transportation funds through the Connecticut Department of Transportation to support rehabilitation of Lyons Plain Road.

This $2.7 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 for the 2025 fiscal year. The LOTCIP program has operated since 2013 to provide state support to municipalities for local infrastructure projects.

According to Weston town information, this work on Lyons Plain Road started last year, with roadway reconstruction in the area of the Lyons Plain Road fire station and near the intersection of Davis Hill Road, Kellogg Hill Road and Valley Forge Road. Much of the work is complete; the project also involved storm drainage improvements, installations of guardrails in the area and new paving of the roadway.

“This three-mile stretch of land connects Weston with the neighboring community of Westport, serves thousands of travelers daily and holds several important town landmarks,” said Sen. Maher. “The state’s investment in this work is meaningful and I’m grateful to the Department of Transportation and state leaders for their support of our community.”

“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.
