Hartford I-84 Viaduct Study

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) recently completed an evaluation of the I-84 viaduct in Hartford.  That study concluded that the ¾ mile long structure through the central area of Hartford while in need of immediate repairs, will also need to be fully reconstructed or replaced within 10-15 years.  While the DOT is already preparing the designs for the repair of the viaduct, they agreed that there is a need to also begin the planning and community involvement process for the longer-term reconstruction or replacement. 

The City of Hartford, working through a committee of stakeholders entitled the Hub of Hartford, and CRCOG have agreed to undertake the initial phase of this process.

CRCOG will manage the project on behalf of the City and will engage a consultant who will develop a set of technically sound alternatives that will be carried forward for further evaluation. More importantly, the consultant will undertake a comprehensive assessment of how each alternative might help improve the quality of life in surrounding neighborhoods, support existing businesses,  and promote economic development.
