Intermodal Triangle

This $23M downtown transit, streetscape, and park improvement project, funded by the US Department of Transportation's TIGER program and the City of Hartford, is a direct implementation of the city's award-winning public/private partnership, the iQuilt Plan.

Construction began in the spring of 2015, and is nearly complete.

The project comprises three distinct physical projects and an effort to improve transit downtown transit routing:
