New signage on I-84 East in Waterbury. Note the Exit 22 exit tab is extra wide as it's to accomodate space for "21-" or "21&" 22.
Exit 21 is currently closed for the rehab project. The DOT wants to remove it for good in the interim before the whole interchange gets redone years down the road.
The Exit 21 removal project wouldn't start until 2024 or 2025. I believe it's a good idea as it will create an AUX lane between the CT-8 on-ramp and the Exit 22 off-ramp. They would even make Exit 22 a two-lane off ramp directly at the gore. Something CT DOT never does.
I say keep it closed, it's dumb to open it again only to close it again.
jp the roadgeek:
Looks like another case of using the MA spec state route shields, same as the ones used for I-691. The tabs are probably extra wide to accommodate future mileage based exit numbers (20 would be 32B and 21-22 would either be 33A-B or just plain 33 if the exit is removed). Still have a ways to go to update signage between Southbury and Southington, including mile markers.
The Ghostbuster:
Good thing those who replaced the signs planned ahead for the future conversion to mileage-based exits.

Today, the contract plans were released for the I-384/US 6 resigning (and mileage-based exit numbers). Pretty standard contract, but a couple items of note: I-384's westbound control city has been changed to "East Hartford". Formerly unsigned westbound exit to US 6/44 in Bolton gets a number. Overhead signage for US 6/44 East jct in Bolton Notch gets removed and replaced with some sheets.
Just search for " I-384 " in the Bid Board site: https://portal.ct.gov/DAS/CTSource/BidBoard

Weird. Change the control city from some place that a majority of people are going to, but don't add Willimantic going eastbound.
