The New Mix Waterbury

The New Mix Waterbury is an ongoing Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) program that will plan for and implement a series of projects to address the long-term needs of Waterbury’s I-84/Route 8 interchange--commonly referred to as the Mixmaster--by 2045. The existing structure, which is currently undergoing a major rehabilitation, is anticipated to reach the end of its projected service life in approximately 25 years. The New Mix will improve safety and functionality of the interchange, reduce the amount of time commuters spend stuck in traffic, complement the economic development goals of the City of Waterbury, and serve Connecticut’s transportation needs for decades to come.
