The I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor

Improvement Program

The centerpiece of the Program is the new Pearl Harbor Memorial (Q) Bridge, the first extradosed

bridge in the United States. The new Northbound Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge was first opened to I-95

Northbound traffic in June 2012, followed by I-95 Southbound traffic in July 2013. This allowed for the

new southbound bridge to be constructed in the footprint of the original bridge. Construction of the new

Southbound Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge was completed in July 2015 and was opened to four lanes of

traffic in September 2015. Prior to opening to traffic, a community celebration and dedication ceremony

was held on top of the bridge with over 9,000 people in attendance. Once construction of the new I-95 /

I-91 / Route 34 Interchange is complete, the new bridge will provide five travel lanes in each direction, full

shoulders and will feature LED asthestic and memorial lighting, becoming a distinctive landmark in the

New Haven skyline.

Reconstruction of the I-95 / I-91 / Route 34 Interchange is scheduled for completion in November

2016. The new interchange will accommodate two-lane interstate-to-interstate connections and the

additional lanes of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, as well as provide three travel lanes with full

shoulders on I-95 in both directions and eliminate left-hand exits where possible.

In 2015, one lane of the I-95 Northbound off-ramp to I-91 Northbound, the Woodward Avenue

on-ramp to I-95 Southbound, and the I-95 Southbound off-ramps to I-91 Northbound and Route 34

Westbound were shifted into final alignment. Demolition of the former ramp carrying I-95 Southbound

to Route 34 Westbound was also completed, moving the bridge away from the former C. Cowles & Co.

Building on Water Street (pictured at right).

The $1.96 billion I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program includes multi-modal roadway and public transit

improvements to reduce congestion in the New Haven area. The Program improves capacity, operations and safety for approximately 7.2

miles of I-95 between Long Wharf Drive (Exit 46) in New Haven, and Cedar Street (Exit 54) in Branford, and the over 140,000 vehicles that

travel it each day.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) initiated the Program in 2000 with construction of the new State Street Railroad

Station, followed by the start of highway reconstruction in 2002. By the end of 2015, a total of 21 contracts, or approximately 93% of

Program construction, had been completed. The Program is expected to complete all highway construction activities by November 2016.

Before the Program comes to a close in Fall 2016, three major traffic shifts will take place. Traffic shift activities will include opening an

additional through lane of I-95 Southbound on the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, relocating I-95 Northbound into its final alignment

eliminating the left-hand exit to I-91 Northbound and opening the additional lanes on the I-95 Southbound off-ramps to I-91 Northbound

and Route 34 Westbound.

Completing the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program

Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge and LED Lighting Contacts

The Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge (SPN 92-531) was a $417 million contract, construction of which was

completed in July 2015. It encompasses approximately 0.8 miles of I-95 in New Haven spanning the Quinnipiac

River. The new bridge includes five travel lanes and full shoulders in each direction and has a 100-year service

life.

The Aesthetic / Memorial Lighting (SPN 92-670) contract provides memorial and aesthetic lighting, enhancing

the appearance of the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, its structural uniqueness and creating a signature

display over the New Haven Harbor. The contract includes tower, anchor pier, bridge span and cable wash

lighting, and span lighting that will be lit year-round from dusk to dawn. The memorial lighting consists of three

xenon beam tracker light fixtures mounted on top of the two center tower piers, facing the sky. These light

cannons will create a beam of light projecting approximately six miles into the sky. The cannon lights will be lit

on designated holidays including Memorial Day, Independence Day, 9/11 Day, Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor

Remembrance Day.

The I-95 / I-91 / Route 34 Interchange Reconstruction

The $356 million I-95 / I-91 / Route 34 Interchange Reconstruction Project (SPN 531/622/627) is scheduled

to be completed in Fall 2016. The contract consists of the reconstruction of the I-95 / I-91 / Route 34

Interchange to accommodate increased capacity and improve interstate-to-interstate connections. The

project extends one mile along I-95 from the western project limit at Exit 46 (Sargent/Long Wharf Drive)

to the eastern project limit at approximately East Street, and 3,500 feet along I-91, between Ivy Place and

Route 34 in New Haven.

The project includes twelve new ramps, twenty-one new or modified bridges and twenty-one retaining

walls. New median barrier, drainage, signing and lighting will also be installed throughout the project. The

new I-95 / I-91 / Route 34 Interchange will provide three travel lanes on I-95 in both directions with full

shoulders, while eliminating left lane exit and entrance ramps to the extent possible. Once completed, all

interstate-to-interstate connections will offer two lanes of travel.

The Boathouse at Canal Dock

Building constraints due to the expansion of the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge led to the demolition of the Adee

(Yale) Boathouse in 2007. As mitigation to the City of New Haven for the loss of the historic Adee, the State of Connecticut,

through the I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program, is 100% funding the construction of a new

boathouse. The new boathouse will be located directly north of the Long Wharf Pier on Long Wharf Drive.

The new boathouse will be built on a 48,500 square foot platform and elements salvaged from the Adee have been

incorporated into the design. The two-story building will house a boat storage facility, locker rooms, meeting rooms,

administrative offices and additional storage. The platform will restore the public’s access to the waterfront and be

available to host a variety of water related activities including crew, kayaking, canoeing and sailing.

The Boathouse Platform (SPN 92-651/583) was completed in November 2014 and the Boathouse at Canal Dock (SPN

92-570) is scheduled to begin construction in early Spring 2016, with contract completion expected in Spring 2017.
