New Roundabout Completed At Redding & Dunham Roads In Fairfield
FAIRFIELD, CT — With construction completed on the new traffic roundabout at the intersection of Redding and Dunham roads, Fairfield and state officials, Fairfield government department heads and residents held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday at the Greenfield Hill site.
Modeled after similar roundabouts throughout Europe, officials believe the Redding/Dunham roundabout will help slow down traffic through the area, in addition to improving lines of sight issues at the low visibility intersection.
A pair of fatal crashes on Redding Road in 2020 and 2023 led to the effort to create the roundabout, which is part of a larger commitment in Fairfield to improve traffic and pedestrian safety throughout the town.
