Roadway Capacity Improvement Project - Route 113 (Main Street) in Stratford
"The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has implemented a project to decrease the travel time along the Metro North Railroad (MNRR) line from New Haven to New York named, “Track Improvement Mobility Enhancement (TIME-1)”. This project will increase the Maximum Authorized Speed (MAS) of a three-mile section of MNRR from 70 mph to 90 mph in the cities of Bridgeport and Stratford. The project will include reconstruction of track to improve track geometry, reconstruction of six railroad and one vehicular bridge and replacement of overhead catenary lines and structures. Reconstruction of the seven bridges presents an opportunity to investigate improvements to the roadways at these railroad bridge crossings. The scope of this Senior Design project is to determine roadway capacity improvements at one of these bridge crossings, Route 113 (Main Street) crossing in Stratford. The proposed design shall include: • Revisions to the Main Street roadway cross-section and lane arrangements based on given traffic volumes. • Capacity improvements needed at two (2) adjacent traffic signals along Main Street. • Incorporating complete streets elements".
