SEYMOUR – New safety signs are coming to Route 8 to warn motorists of a curve in the highway near exit 22, state Rep. Nicole Klarides-Ditria announced Tuesday.

Klarides-Ditria wrote a letter last year asking the state Department of Transportation to look at exit 22 ramps last year.

I received many complaints that exit 22 on Route 8 was unsafe,” Klarides-Ditria said in a prepared statement.

DOT crews are scheduled to install new signs, along with moving existing warning signs to a new location to give drivers more advanced warning of the curve.

I want to thank the Department of Transportation for reviewing this matter and making the necessary improvements to the area to prevent accidents and keep residents safe,” Klarides-Ditria said.

In addition, retroreflective delineators” will be installed on the median barrier.
