Governor Seeks $345 Million for Connecticut Highway Plan
Governor Ribicoff proposed an accelerated $345 million highway program to be financed largely by federal bonding. The package targets Route 25 relocation between Bridgeport and Newtown, Route 6 from the New York line to the Housatonic River, and major intercity projects across Connecticut to spur employment during the current unemployment crisis. The plan outlines right of way acquisitions, construction schedules, and area projects in Fairfield County and surrounding towns with a multi-year timetable through 1961.
