Mayor Daniel Drew has announced that
due to the proposed Reconstruction of Laurel Grove Road, the section
of Laurel Grove Road between Randolph Road and Wadsworth Street will
be closed to through traffic between Wednesday May 9th and Tuesday
May 15th, 2012, weather permitting. Traffic will be impacted between
7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. During this period, except for Sunday May
13th when no work is planned for this day. Construction will be
confined to the northern section of Laurel Grove Road near the
intersection of Wadsworth Street. Local traffic to properties on
Laurel Grove Road will be allowed, but motorists should expect delays
during this construction.
Through traffic that normally would use
this section of Laurel Grove Road is encouraged to use alternate
routes around the construction site such as Long Lane and Long Hill
Road (Middletown) to the east or Main Street (*Route 157) and Cherry
Hill Road (Middlefield) to the west.
Anyone with questions on this project
can contact Robert Dobmeier of the City of Middletown's Public Works
Department at (860) 344-3412 for more information.

Isn't it the section between Randolph road and Anderson Road, not Wadsworth Street?
ReplyDeletehand outs should be given to businesses near here loosing money because of construction- isn't that what the council did for ion?
ReplyDeleteThe plan that was announced in Aug 2011 (http://www.cityofmiddletown.com/filestorage/117/119/1848/LaurelGrovePvgNot.pdf) included work between Randolph (southern end) to Anderson Road (northern end). Thus, not into Wadsworth State Park -- paving here would be a major shift to this road, affecting the ecology, driving habits etc (it's gravel now). Whereas the part to the north is already paved, and in poor condition.
ReplyDeleteoops, Randolph to north, Anderson to south.
