The Connecticut Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting next week to present details on a proposed Interstate 84 Flex Lane project in Danbury. The goal of the Flex Lane is to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow, and make commuting more efficient and reliable for motorists traveling through the area.

Why it matters

Danbury has long faced traffic congestion issues on I-84, especially during peak commuting hours. The proposed Flex Lane project aims to address these problems by providing a dynamic travel lane that can adjust to changing traffic conditions.

The details

The Flex Lane would operate as a dynamic travel lane along I-84, opening or closing based on real-time traffic data. Project representatives will provide an overview of how the Flex Lane would function and outline the potential benefits at the public meeting.

• The public information meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
• The meeting will take place at St. Joseph's Church Hall, 376 Main St. in Danbury.

What’s next

Residents can attend the public information meeting, either in person or virtually, to learn more about the proposed Flex Lane project and provide feedback directly to state transportation officials.
