The Connecticut Department of Transportation resurfaced 305 two-lane miles of roadways this construction season, a 26 percent increase over last year.
The additional mileage was the result of an extra $11.9 million spent by the state this year. In total, Connecticut spent $68.9 million resurfacing roads in 2014, up from $57 million in 2013.
ConnDOT typically resurfaces 225-250 miles annually out of its 4,100 roads and highways. The extra effort this year is the result of more focus on keeping the state’s transportation systems in a state of good repair, ConnDOT Commissioner James Redeker said.
