Construction News & Schedule
for the TWO-WEEK period of
Monday, January 3 - Friday, January 14, 2022
h
OVERVIEW FOR THIS WEEK:
There will be no changes to the existing traffic pattern during the two-week period of Monday, January 3 through Friday, January 14, 2022. Various single-lane closures will occur to accommodate construction for 101 College Street and Downtown Crossing Phase 2 and are listed in more detail immediately below.
The temporary condition of no right-hand turns onto South Frontage Road from South Orange Street remains in place. A simple detour will guide drivers from State Street and Union Avenue to access South Frontage Road: right onto Columbus Avenue, right onto Church Street, and then right onto South Frontage Road.
This detour will not impact traffic already on South Frontage Road and heading to I91/I95.
The detour will only impact drivers who typically access South Frontage Road from South Orange Street, behind the New Haven police station and the Knights of Columbus printing press/supply building.
This detour will be in place until the new Orange Street intersection (across the former highway corridor) opens, which is anticipated to occur in approximately the next month and a half.
Please see graphics immediately below this text section for detour information.
LANE CLOSURES
Throughout the two-week period of Monday, January 3 and Friday, January 14, 2022 various lane closures may occur on the following roads to accommodate construction:
  • State Street & Union Avenue at North Frontage Road: single lane closures near the intersection of Water Street.
  • South Frontage Road: the far-left lane closure on SFR between College and Church Streets will be closed.
  • Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard: single lane closures between Church Street and Orange Street.
  • Orange Street between George Street and MLK Boulevard: closed heading south.
WORK HOURS
Downtown Crossing-related work for the two-week of period of Monday, January 3 through Friday, January 14, 2022 will occur during daytime work hours. 
Daytime work hours are weekdays between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Kent Pierce of WTNH looks at how Downtown Crossing has worked to undo some of the damage of Urban Renewal to benefit New Haven and offers a preview of what to expect when the new Orange Street intersection, across the former highway corridor, opens. Click here to watch!
Along the Lines is a podcast hosted by Connecticut Department of Transportation Public Transit Bureau Chief Rich Andreski. The latest episode features Downtown Crossing, providing an in-depth look at the project and its benefits.
The episode can listened to at https://bit.ly/DTXonAlongTheLines  
A date for the opening of the new Orange Street intersection will be announced soon. When the Orange Street intersection opens, it will create a significant change in the overall traffic pattern. Drivers will be sharing the road with pedestrians and bicyclists. Pedestrians and bicyclists will need to cross the large intersection in two phases.
Pedestrians & bicyclists please note:
When crossing the intersection in the north/south direction, it will take two traffic signal phases. In other words, one will need to use the 'crosswalk' button twice and pause on one of the pedestrian islands in between the first and second crosswalk phases. (Pedestrian islands are highlighted in orange in the graphics above this section.)
  • 1st Crosswalk Phase: The first crosswalk phase will allow crossing from the sidewalk to one of the pedestrian islands.
  • 2nd Crosswalk Phase: The second crosswalk phase will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to move from the pedestrian island to the sidewalk on the other side of the intersection.
Drivers please note:
  • Drivers exiting I-91 and I-95 to approach Downtown New Haven (Exit 1 from I-91 South and Exit 47 from I-95 North) will now come across their first traffic signal at Orange Street, much earlier than before.
  • The new intersection and traffic signals are at a location that drivers are used to speeding past. Drivers are urged to pay attention to on-road signage, slow down, and stay safe!
  • The speed limit on the exit ramps from both I-91 and I-95 is 30 MPH! Obey the speed limit.
  • The new intersection and its traffic signals are designed for pedestrians and bicyclists, not only drivers!! Drivers should be especially cognizant that they are utilizing a shared-use road along with pedestrians and bicyclists. Drivers should pay attention to road signage and obey the speed limit to keep all road users safe.
  • From any point in the intersection, drivers can turn right or go straight upon a green traffic signal. There are NO left-hand turns allowed for drivers from any point in the intersection.

Today the city of New Haven began the process of distributing at-home rapid tests to essential staff with symptoms or COVID exposures – including teachers and other school staff ahead of tomorrow’s return to the classroom. This will help ensure essential staff can safely return to work. This initial distribution is part of 10,000 tests the city obtained in recent days.

The city has also received 9,000 tests from the State of Connecticut. Distribution of those tests will begin tomorrow. This initial tranche of tests will be distributed to non-profit service providers who work with vulnerable communities – such as the elderly and those experiencing homelessness. A large portion of these tests will also be dedicated to New Haven Public School children with symptoms or COVID exposures. NHPS will share information directly with families in the near future on this.

While we do not yet have enough rapid tests to distribute widely to the public, we expect to receive additional tests from the state, at which time we will announce additional distributions.

If you need to get tested, Wren labs is re-opening their testing site on the New Haven Green tomorrow afternoon (3-6 PM) and will continue to operate the 60 Sargent Drive location each morning (8 AM – Noon) except for Fridays. No appointments are required, and there may be wait time.

As a reminder, get vaccinated, boosted and wear your masks.

Check out the City’s Covid website at https://covid19.newhavenct.gov/ or call: 203-946-6999 for more information.

Thanks everyone!

Yesterday Connecticut broke another record for daily test positive rate for COVID – nearly 15%. And hundreds more have been hospitalized this week alone. This surge is very real and very concerning.

Tomorrow night is New Year’s eve – a night in which people often gather together. I encourage you to re-think those plans. Avoiding indoor congregate spaces is crucial during this spike in cases.

Because of the surge in cases demand for testing is very high right now. The surge in demand is stressing our testing systems – which is causing long wait times.

Wren labs is still offering saliva testing, but they have suspended their operations on the New Haven Green until January 4th – saliva testing remains available at 60 Sargent Drive. They’re not currently taking appointments and wait times are extremely long. Please note that Wren will be close on December 31st and January 1st for the holiday and will reopen the Sargent drive site on January 2nd.

The State of Connecticut has procured 3M in rapid tests however, unfortunately, the shipment has been delayed. When we know more information, we will follow-up with instructions on where to obtain at-home rapid testing.

Please also continue to mask up. There is overwhelming evidence that masks help prevent the spread of COVID. There continues to be a mask mandate in New Haven for public spaces.

Finally, get vaccinated and boosted to dramatically increase your protection against the Omicron variant. It is very easy to get vaccinated in New Haven. Check out the City’s Covid website at https://covid19.newhavenct.gov/ or call: 203-946-6999 for more information.

We are facing a very challenging situation but we will get through this together. Thanks everyone
