Rideworks Review: Fall, 1999

Rideworks Improves Access to Regional Construction Information

Commuters now have up-to-date information on highway construction projects at their fingertips. Rideworks has just launched a new construction section for the region on this website.
Traffic advisories for area highway and roadway construction projects are available here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just go to www.rideworks.com and click on “Construction.”
The easy-to-navigate site was developed in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) and features sections on New Haven area highway and roadway improvements, I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program and New Haven area bridge improvements.

New I-95 NHHC Corridor Improvement Program Web Site Launched

CDOT is pleased to announce that real-time traffic updates and detour information are available on www.i95newhaven.com, the new website for the I-95 NHHC Corridor Improvement Program. The new site features an interactive road conditions map – updated daily – that includes detailed plans for Program-related construction on I-95 or adjacent roadways. Visitors can also link directly to 10 traffic cameras between Exit 54 (Cedar Street) and Exit 46 (Long Wharf/Sargent Drive) through the interactive map, and sign up for project email to receive advance construction notifications and materials such as fact sheets and brochures.

New Commuter Parking Lot off I-95 (at Exit 55) in Branford Now Opened

CDOT has announced that the new commuter parking lot off I-95 at Exit 55 (across from Hoyts Cinema on Route 1) in Branford is now opened as part of the first highway construction phase of the I-95 NHHC Corridor Improvement Program. The construction of the new lot increases parking capacity from approximately 25 spaces at Cedar Street to 70 spaces at Exit 55. (The Park & Ride lot off I-95 at Exit 54 Cedar Street in Branford has been closed.)

When it came time to relocate, three companies in Rideworks’ service area helped their employees with transportation options to ease the commute to the new facility and reduce employee stress.
