Darien Traffic Alert: Long-Term Road Closure

Locust Hill Road will be closed to traffic between Old Farm Road and Settlers Trail Monday through Friday starting Sept. 28.

The closure will occur between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m and work is expected to last through at least mid-November.

This closure is being required to allow the construction of a new sanitary sewer main within Locust Hill Road from the existing sewer manhole on Old Farm Road, continuing north on Locust Hill Road to the intersection of Locust Hill Road and Settlers Trail. Traffic will be diverted around the work area via Tokeneke Road and Old Kings Highway South. Detour signs will be posted throughout the detour area to direct diversionary traffic as needed. Daily traffic control will be coordinated and staffed by Darien police officers and traffic agents.

The work is being performed by M. Rondano, Inc. of Norwalk, CT. The Town of Darien Public Works Department will have a representative on-site at all times while construction is taking place.

The Town of Darien Police Department is working closely with the Contractor to monitor the progress of the work and minimize disruption to local residents as much as possible. Emergency vehicle access to all homes will be provided at all times during construction. In addition, the Darien Board of Education is aware of the proposed construction work, and school bus routes will be modified accordingly to avoid buses travelling through the construction area.
