There is no law without signage.

^^ That law seems to apply only to projects requiring Federal DOT approval. Not every road project does, especially where Federal funds are not involved. Is that project covered?

Also, you say you weren't allowed, but the sign you photo'd seems to prohibit only "pedestrians". What about bicyclists like you? Seems like pedestrians aren't allowed because the sidewalk is closed, but if vehicles are allowed to pass through in the travel lanes, that would seem to cover you, at least.

QuoteJust to be sure I checked with the local fire department there is no alternate route.

The fire department?

Many in central Connecticut are aware of the very busy Berlin Turnpike (US 5/CT 15). It runs from the junction with US Route 5 in Meriden north through Berlin and Newington to Wethersfield. There, US 5/CT 15 veers off to the northeast towards the Charter Oak Bridge.



(Picture is looking roughly south in Berlin, CT on December 21, 2017.)

The merge area on the left is from the on ramp from CT Route 372 to US 5/CT 15 (Berlin Turnpike) North. Most of this road is two lanes in each direction. If you go back to that on-ramp, there is a small sign which reads "Pedestrians Prohibited". However, I've walked on the shoulder of this road off and on for years. Police have driven past and have said nothing. This part of the road has a few motels. Further north has quite a bit more retail. The only other grade-separated intersection I'm aware of on the Turnpike after this one is for CT Route 175 on the Newington/Wethersfield town line.

There are separate signs prohibiting bicyclists.  But they are apparently working on it...
