The Connecticut Department of Transportation released its $9.7 billion capital plan, which includes investments across various modes of transportation over the next five years.
The plan, which covers fiscal years 2021-25, includes investments for repairs and upgrades across multiple modes, such as highways, bridges, public transit and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
CTDOT anticipates using $2.1 billion in plan funding in fiscal 2021, which began Oct. 1. Of this, some $800 million will be directed to bus and rail needs, while $1.3 billion will support highway and bridge infrastructure. According to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association’s 2020 bridge report, 6.3% of Connecticut’s bridges are classified as structurally deficient.
