GREENWICH, CT — Phase 2 of the Tomac Avenue, Harding Road, and Forest Avenue Drainage Improvements Project will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 28, and daytime road closures are expected to begin on Monday, Dec. 4.

Construction hours will be Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the road will reopen at the end of each construction day. Weather dependent, this phase is anticipated to be completed by February 2024.
