On Friday evening, the Jewett City Fire Department hosted its annual member recognition dinner. A significant portion of their time is dedicated to training, work functions, meetings, and responding to emergencies. Their other half shoulder the responsibility of their spouse, partner, son, or daughter dedicating a considerable amount of time to the Department. Some have multiple family members involved. The banquet serves not only to recognize the member's dedication and sacrifices, but also to acknowledge their partner for their commitment.

This year the following recognition awards were given:

Cadet of the Year- Vivaan Patel
Firefighter of the Year: Jeremy Seiner
White Hat Award: C**t Burgess
EMT of the Year: Vivaan Patel
Scott Walker Award: Dakota Yates

Cardiac Arrest Save:
Chief Demicco
Dep Chief Comfort
Capt Lepage
LT Yates
EMT Patel
FF Burgess
FF Biancarosa

IMPORTANT TRAFFIC ALERT: Gold Star Bridge I-95 Project Update

Major Lane Configuration Change Coming May 30-31, 2026

The Connecticut Department of Transportation's Gold Star Bridge project is reaching a critical milestone that will impact I-95 travel for the next four years.

OVERNIGHT WORK - SATURDAY, MAY 30TH:

When: Saturday, May 30th, 8:00 PM through Sunday, May 31st, 8:00 AM

What: Installation of the I-95 Northbound Crossover

Impact: Lane closures on I-95 Northbound during this 12-hour window

This date was strategically selected based on the lowest expected traffic volumes and to provide contractors the maximum time needed to complete extensive roadway modifications safely.

NEW PERMANENT TRAFFIC PATTERN - BEGINS MAY 31ST:

Starting Sunday, May 31, 2026, a new four-year traffic configuration will be in effect:

I-95 Northbound Traffic:

· Through Traffic (continuing north): Use 2 lanes that will cross
over to the southbound bridge
· Local Traffic (New London/Downtown Groton): Use 2 lanes
remaining on the existing northbound bridge

Exit Access Changes:

· Exit 86: Accessible ONLY via the I-95 crossover lanes
· Exit 85: Accessible ONLY via the existing northbound bridge
local lanes

PLAN AHEAD:

✅ Know your destination before entering I-95 NB in this area
✅ Allow extra travel time as drivers adjust to the new
configuration
✅ Pay attention to signage directing through vs. local traffic
✅ Avoid the area Saturday night/Sunday morning if possible
during construction hours

Thank you for your patience as we all work together to improve our infrastructure.
