AN ACT CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION OF SOUND BARRIERS ALONG INTERSTATE ROUTE 95 IN THE TOWN OF FAIRFIELD.

SB 293 requires Connecticut's Department of Transportation to install noise-reducing barriers along Interstate 95 in Fairfield. The bill specifically targets noise pollution generated when the department clears trees near the highway. This policy directly affects Fairfield residents living near I-95 by mandating physical barriers to mitigate traffic and maintenance-related noise. The legislation focuses on a concrete infrastructure change, not broader policy shifts.
