Darien's Old Kings Highway North Bridge Set To Close For Construction: PD

DARIEN, CT — The Old Kings Highway North Bridge over I-95 in Darien will be closing to all westbound traffic for construction work beginning on June 7 and lasting through the remainder of 2017, according to police.

"All Old Kings Highway North traffic coming westbound (towards the Post Road), will be required 24/7 to enter I-95 northbound as the posted detour," wrote police in a statement. "All eastbound Old Kings Highway North traffic (from the Post Road) will still be able to travel through the area towards Rowayton or onto I-95 northbound."

This partial closure will be in effect until the bridge is completely replaced, which is expected to take the remainder of the year.

Additionally, there will be eight complete overnight closures of Old Kings Highway North in the area of the bridge during the summer/early fall months, said police, adding that when the department is notified of the specific dates, officials will update the advisory.
