The project also includes a new shared-use path in the median of Route 33 and operational improvements at the exit 247 interchange.
A work-zone speed limit of 25 miles an hour is in place on Route 33 for the duration of the project, which is expected to last into 2026. The work zone is closed to pedestrian traffic.
