City of Waterbury Announces 2026 Milling and Paving Program

(WATERBURY, CT) Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr. and the City of Waterbury Engineering Department are pleased to announce that the city's 2026 Milling and Paving Program will begin later this month.

The city has awarded a $10 million contract to Tilcon Connecticut, Inc. of New Britain to perform roadway and parking lot rehabilitation projects at various locations throughout Waterbury. The program is part of the city's ongoing, multi-year investment in improving and modernizing Waterbury's transportation infrastructure. Last year, the city invested approximately $5.5 million in milling and paving projects. This year's $10 million program nearly doubles that investment, allowing the city to address more roadways and accelerate needed infrastructure improvements. In addition to roadway improvements, the project will include upgrades to adjacent sidewalks to enhance accessibility and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

"Over the past several weeks, we have announced significant investments in roads, sidewalks, drainage improvements, and other critical infrastructure projects throughout our city," said Mayor Paul K. Pernerewski, Jr. "This year's $10 million paving program nearly doubles last year's investment and is another important step in our ongoing effort to improve the condition of our streets, enhance accessibility, and make long-term investments that benefit residents in every neighborhood. By continuing to address infrastructure needs today, we are building a stronger Waterbury for the future."
