CONNECTICUT: Feasibility on Pricing on Interstate 84 (Hartford)
The study evaluates the use of pricing strategies on a short section of Interstate 84 in the City of Hartford. The segment is one of Connecticut's most highly traveled and one of its most congested. It includes a three quarter mile long elevated highway, or viaduct, that is nearly 50 years old and in need of replacement. It was determined that the need to replace the aging structure presents an opportunity to address congestion problems and improve quality of life in adjoining neighborhoods. However, the high cost of replacement poses a financing problem. Congestion pricing offers an opportunity to finance part of the viaduct replacement, as well as an opportunity to further reduce and manage congestion.
