Cos Cob Road Detour Rescheduled for Thursday

The removal of the utility pole on Bible Street in Cos Cob has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 19, because Eversource crews are addressing the outages from the wind and downed trees.

Eversource plans to remove a utility pole at 180 Bible St. which will force a road closure and a detour through the area.

Crews will need about eight hours remove it and install new guy wires to a new pole, according to Tracey Alston, an Eversource community relations specialist.

Alston said there won’t be any outages as a result of the work. The street will be closed to through traffic because of the large trucks and equipment needed to perform the work, Alston told the Greenwich Board of Selectmen which approved the closure at its March 12 meeting.

Northbound motorists will need to detour onto Clover Place to Dandy Drive to Valley Road to Cat Rock Road. Southbound drivers will follow the same route, only in reverse.
