Route 151 resurfacing continues through Aug. 21 near Moodus and East Haddam

Connecticut Department of Transportation crews are scheduled to mill and resurface 5.96 miles of Route 151 near Moodus and East Haddam through Aug. 21, 2026.

The scheduled work runs from July 14 through Aug. 21. The project begins at the East Haddam-Haddam town line and continues along Route 151 to the end of the route in East Hampton, according to a Connecticut DOT construction advisory.

What travelers should expect

Drivers using Route 151 should expect active road work during the resurfacing period. The project may also affect school buses, daily commuters and local businesses that depend on the route, with possible traffic delays while crews are working.

The available advisory does not provide exact daily work hours or a final traffic-control configuration. That means travelers do not have a published day-by-day timetable in the approved material for when particular parts of the 5.96-mile segment will be active.

The advisory also does not confirm that Route 151 will be closed. Travelers should allow additional time and follow directions posted at the work site, but should not assume that the entire route will be unavailable.

Project limits and local connection

The eastern project limit is the East Haddam-Haddam town line. From there, the resurfacing segment runs through East Hampton to the end of Route 151. The state advisory identifies the road limits directly; the Moodus reference reflects the East Haddam postal community and local place context.

East Haddam’s official meetings and agendas page identifies Moodus, CT 06469 in its location information. The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles’ location listing also identifies Moodus with ZIP code 06469. Those records support the precise Moodus location used for this report.

Schedule remains the next key date

Aug. 21, 2026, is the project’s scheduled completion date. It is a target listed in the DOT advisory, not confirmation that every resurfacing activity will be finished by that day.

The approved material does not confirm whether the schedule has changed since the advisory was published. For now, Route 151 users should plan around the July 14-Aug. 21 construction window and watch for changing work conditions along the route.
