Start Date Announced For Glenville Corridor Traffic Improvements

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Department of Public Works has announced that construction on the Glenville corridor traffic improvements project will begin on March 31.

A major infrastructure project, DPW says the improvements will reduce congestion, improve air quality, and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians traveling along the Glenville corridor. Upgrades will include widened roads, new sidewalks, new traffic signals, realigned crosswalks, and more.

Additionally as part of the project, 36 decorative light poles valued at $252,076 will be installed. Earlier this year the Greenwich Representative Town Meeting night approved a gift for the light poles from The Belpointe Foundation.

The project will begin from the intersection of Glen Ridge Road and Glenville Street and move eastward. Construction is expected to last approximately one year, DPW said.

Drivers should anticipate periodic lane shifts and detours in work zones.

The Glenville corridor is a heavily traveled commuter route, providing access to major highways and local schools. According to the project web page, the corridor spans approximately 1,500 feet.
