The third westbound lane on Interstate 84 in Waterbury is open on Monday morning after weather forced a delay of the scheduled midnight opening on Friday, according to the Department of Transportation.
The ride on the eastbound side has been smoother since a third lane opened for travel earlier this month. By Sunday night a section of the area has three lanes open, and a DOT spokesperson said the entire stretch between Austin Road and Washington Street will be three lanes by 6 a.m. Monday.
In August, Governor Malloy announced the $330 million widening project was nearing completion, one year head of schedule.
The years of construction have caused headaches and delays for drivers.
