The state Department of Transportation recently released a detailed study recommending transformative changes to Greater Hartford’s highway and other infrastructure that aim to ease roadway congestion, open more land in Hartford and East Hartford for possible development and reconnect the Capital City to the Connecticut River.

Many of the high-profile recommendations in the Greater Hartford Mobility Study have been discussed in the past, including the relocation of the I-84/I-91 interchange and lowering of the I-84 viaduct.

However, the report fails to address how the state would fund the various transportation projects, which would likely yield a minimum price tag of $10 billion to $12 billion. The projects, according to the DOT, would need to be planned for and included in future capital programs, and require continued state funding to match future federal dollars over the next three decades.

Do you think the changes outlined in the Greater Hartford Mobility Study will come to fruition over the next 30 years?
