Proposed Bill No. 6676 aims to address noise pollution in the city of Meriden by mandating the installation of sound barriers at specific locations along major highways. The bill directs the Commissioner of Transportation to construct these barriers at four designated sites: (1) along Interstate Route 691 eastbound between Hubbard Park and the Chamberlain Highway exit, (2) along Interstate Route 91 southbound between the Middletown line and exit 18, Preston Avenue, (3) along Connecticut Route 15 northbound from the Wallingford line to the Paddock Avenue overpass, and (4) along Connecticut Route 15 southbound from the Paddock Avenue overpass to the Wallingford line. These installations are intended to provide noise buffers for residents living near these highways.

The purpose of the bill is to mitigate the increased traffic noise resulting from the ongoing interchange improvement project involving Interstate Route 91, Interstate Route 691, and Connecticut Route 15. The proposed legal language includes the insertion of specific locations for sound barrier installation, while no deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
