The statement is concerned with the reconstruction of an approximately 2.5-mile section of Route I-84 in the Towns of Newtown and Southbury, including the crossing of the Housatonic River. The project calls for the rebuilding of the present limited access, four-lane freeway to bring it up to Federal interstate standards to which other sections of this route immediately to the east and west are now built. The proposed improvement will provide a second bridge for the westbound lane and shift it northerly to provide a 100 foot median. The eastbound lane will be rebuilt on its present alignment except for a portion in Southbury where both lanes will be shifted northward to flatten the sharp curvature of the roadway at that point. The present direct access of local roads to I-84 on the Newtown side will be eliminated and the four ramps on the Southbury side rebuilt as one 'on' ramp westbound and one 'off' ramp eastbound. Probable impacts on the environment and adverse effects are discussed in the statement.
