Minimal Impact on Traffic Flow Expected

The Connecticut Airport Authority is beginning the reconstruction and realignment of the main airport entrance roadway, Route 20 and Schoephoester Rd, on June 8th, 2017.

The work will involve the realignment of Schoephoester Road along with a portion of the airport’s lower roadway system, as well as the construction of a modern roundabout.

The project will provide a new entrance to the airport from Route 20 and open up a 19-acre site for the future development of Bradley’s ground transportation center.

The construction will not interrupt access to the airport from the Route 20 connector. However, there may be slight delays due to the shifting and reduction of lanes.

Construction signs and variable message boards are present along the roadway to alert motorists of any changes in traffic patterns.

The project will consist of six phases of work and is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2018. Regular updates will be provided to the public during this time period.

“This project begins our preparations for the development of our new state-of-the-art ground transportation center. We anticipate minimal impact to our passengers, however, it is important for them to be aware of the construction,” said Kevin A. Dillon, A.A.E., Executive Director of the Connecticut Airport Authority.
