Sidewalk Installation To Begin Soon In Old Greenwich

GREENWICH, CT — The town of Greenwich Department of Public Works on Monday announced that construction will begin in mid-August on the Shore Road sidewalk project.

Located in Old Greenwich, a new sidewalk will be installed along the east side of Shore Road, from Tomac Avenue to Sound Beach Avenue. The project was created due to community interest, and it's been identified as a pedestrian safety enhancement by numerous studies, Greenwich DPW said in a news release.

Shore Road is utilized by both pedestrians and vehicles. There are several school bus stops located along the roadway, and it is used by approximately 2,250 vehicles daily, according to Greenwich DPW.

Construction will start at the intersection of Tomac Avenue and Shore Road, continuing south to the intersection of Sound Beach and Shore Road.

Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be performed in segments, typically proceeding by block.

Alternating one-way traffic within the work zone during construction hours is likely. Police will be on-site to direct traffic.
