YEAR COMPLETED
2018

LOCATION
HARTFORD & BRIDGEPORT, CT

GC/CUSTOMER
CONNECTICUT DOT

CONTRACT AMOUNT
$15M

A complex system of pole-mounted cameras, traffic flow monitors, and Variable Message Board signs, all connected with many miles of underground fiber optic cables and fully controllable by CT DOT Incident Management Systems Headquarters in Newington, CT.

In addition to performing all aspects of electrical and fiber optic work for these systems, as the prime contractor, Ducci’s scope also included all drilling & pouring of caisson foundations, and all civil work and procurement/installation of structural steel associated with the system, much of it self-performed. Completing this type of work without disrupting the traffic flow on the busiest highways in the state has many unique scheduling, safety, and logistical challenges.
