Connecticut Transportation Engineering & Infrastructure Projects
VN Engineers is proud to support the State of Connecticut through innovative, sustainable, and safety-focused transportation engineering, infrastructure design, and construction support services. From complex bridge rehabilitation projects and traffic signal modernization to freight mobility planning and rail corridor improvements, our Connecticut-based projects reflect our deep expertise and commitment to enhancing the state’s multimodal transportation network.
Our work spans both urban and rural environments, supporting clients such as the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and regional planning organizations like SCRCOG.
Current projects such as the Singing Bridge rehabilitation in Newington, the Mohegan-Pequot Bridge upgrade, the New Haven Rail Yard parking study, and the District 1 traffic signal replacements demonstrate VN Engineers’ leadership in transportation design, planning, and project delivery across Connecticut. We are also actively shaping the future of freight logistics, rail corridor development, and pavement preservation on high-volume corridors like I-95.

Rehabilitation of the Mohegan-Pequot Bridge, State Project No. 0085-0147, Montville & Preston, CT
The Mohegan-Pequot Bridge No. 03426 is a seven-span structure that carries Route 2A over the NE Central Railroad, the P&W Railroad, and the Thames River in the Towns of Montville and Preston. The scope of this project is to rehabilitate Bridge No. 03426 in accordance with CTDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) design standards, including CTDOT Standard Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, Form 818, 2020 including the latest Supplemental Specifications. VN is responsible for Maintenance and Protection of Traffic during construction, traffic design, cost estimates and components of the Rehabilitation Report.
“Singing Bridge”, Bridge No. 00349, US Route 1 over Patchogue River, Newington, CT
Bridge No. 00349 is a single-span 120-foot-long galvanized steel Pratt truss carrying U.S. Route 1 (Boston Post Road) over the Patchogue River in the east/west direction. The scope of this work entails the rehabilitation of the bridge. VN is responsible for preliminary design, including drainage, traffic analysis, Maintenance on Protection of Traffic services, highway and structure plan sets, and final design services. Further roles include regulatory agency permitting, stormwater permitting, and MS4 MEP checklist.
SS4A Torrington Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, Torrington, CT
In 2023, the City of Torrington (City) was awarded a SS4A grant to develop a safety action plan that identifies the city’s most significant roadway safety concerns. A Safety Action Plan (Plan) aims to develop a holistic, data-driven, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. VN’s responsibilities include crash date analysis, crash factor diagnosis, countermeasure selection, and project prioritization and initiation. The final deliverable is a comprehensive safety action plan that will meet the USDOT SS4A guidelines to position the city to receive available construction funding.
New Haven Rail Yard Parking Study Updates, State Project DOT03010088PE, CT
VN Engineers has been asked to update the November 2016 CB&I report entitled Analysis of Yard Parking Demand vs. Supply study. This scope of work covers the tasks required to update the previous parking study and incorporate parking supply and demand anticipated for new and planned facilities within the New Haven Rail Yard. The study will incorporate parking demand changes based on the remote and hybrid work styles that were established during and after the pandemic. This study update will document the forecasted future parking demands and identify the need for additional parking that could be constructed to satisfy the projected demand as the program progresses.
NNHS 3B Final Design, State Project 320-0008, West Hartfield, Enfield, and Windsor, CT
The NHHS Rail Program is a key and necessary component of a broader New England passenger rail vision developed by the Governors in the Northeast. The vision requires the expansion of intercity passenger rail service across New England and the Northeast linking into the high-speed Northeast Corridor spine. The primary purpose of this effort is to provide 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design plans to improve the New Haven Hartford Springfield Line within the Municipalities of West Hartford, Enfield, Windsor, and Windsor, CT. This project involves upgrading the siding track to Class VI. VN’s responsibilities include at grade crossing design, track design, developing final construction documents, traffic signalization, design coordination, design reviews, public involvement, track modification, track alignment, technical reviews, contract drawings, and QA/QC.
