Connecticut milepost exit numbering conversion

When CT 15 gets its exits renumbered, be sure to get some pictures (if you have time to do so). It would be much appreciated by me.

It's on the list... not sure if there's been any progress made yet on that.  Hope to check the WCP in a couple weeks.  Tried getting on SB in Meriden the other day but traffic was quite backed up and didn't feel like dealing with it.

I drive it SB pretty much every day between Meriden and Wallingford.  There are some new gore sign supports behind many of the current gore signs, but no new signage or enhanced mile markers other than the secondary signage posted last year.

Drove the Willimantic Bypass today... next to nothing in terms of progress being made on sign replacement/ exit renumbering.  There's really no point to add exit tabs to the existing signage, as its getting replaced anyway.  US 6 is in the same contract as the I-384 project, and contractors have been out installing foundations there.  Exit numbers have been changed already to mileage-based on I-384, occuring in 2024.

Let us know when they do add exit numbers to the Willimantic Bypass.

In the last 2 weeks or so there's been some fresh CBYD markings in the areas that I think the signs supports may be going.  Haven't checked it against the plans but they're all about where I'd expect.  No actual work yet, though.  Meanwhile, the foundations along I-384 have been going in fast and furious the last week or so.

Saw the first new foundation for a ground-mount sign on the Willimantic Bypass for the CT-195 exit on the eastbound side earlier today.

Drove CT 15 from Meriden to NY in both directions last weekend. Nothing much noted on the WCP. There were many covered over gore signs behind the current ones along the Merritt in both directions, mostly closer to the NY border after the US 7 exits, but noticed a few northbound closer to the northern end such as at the first CT 25 exit (drove that direction at night so may have missed some). Were 2 significant delays heading south. The first when a not so swift driver of a Swift truck fortunately stopped before hitting a bridge on the WCP near Hamden, then the seemingly usual 2 mile delay approaching US 7.

Most of the new foundations on the US-6 Willimantic Bypass have been placed, but no new large signs yet.  In the last week a lot if not all of the new sheetmetal signs have gone up.  So many large signs are being replaced with sheetmetal along here.

Also, I noticed at both the end of I-384 and US-6, all of the directional signage for the splits at the ends of the expressways is being changed from large signs to small sheetmetal.  Looks like maybe one LGS at the 1/2 mile mark on 384.  I really have my doubts on how effective that signage will be.

News article indicates exit renumbering of CT 15 along the Merritt and Cross Parkways could be completed by early August:

I drive some of the Wilbur Cross almost daily.  If they're making the changes in August, it'll be overlays on old signage because no new BGS's have been added, nor have the supports.  New enhanced mile markers have yet to be added, and only a couple new tarped services/attractions signs have been added.  Only the new gore signs are up and tarped, along with the newer, smaller town line signage.
