Construction on Route 9 causing frustration for residents and business owners in Haddam

A new roundabout in Haddam has been causing concern for some residents and businesses, including the River’s Edge Home Center, who have been dealing with nearby road construction projects for over a year. The construction of the roundabout has caused traffic delays and difficulties for deliveries, with some concerns about larger vehicles navigating the area. Despite the completion of the roundabout, some issues persist, such as a tractor trailer getting stuck in the roundabout. While the Department of Transportation has not received direct complaints about the roundabout, some residents are happy with the improved traffic flow, while others fear potential backups at the Route 82 swing bridge when it opens. Local businesses like River’s Edge Home Center have sought financial support from the state due to their losses but have not received assistance. The future of traffic in the area remains uncertain as residents and businesses navigate the changes brought on by the new roundabout.
