Chapel Street Two-Way Conversion Project

under construction

The project involves converting a two-block stretch of Downtown New Haven's Chapel Street between College and York streets from one-way traffic to two-way traffic. This change is part of a broader effort to improve safety, reduce speeding, and make travel along Chapel Street more accessible and predictable for all road users. The project includes new pavement markings, signage, signal adjustments, accessible pedestrian signals, pedestrian push buttons, high-visibility crosswalks, leading pedestrian interval signals, and increased enforcement of illegal parking. It is part of New Haven's Safe Streets for All initiative and is supported by an $11 million federal grant for the Chapel Street Safe Streets Project.
