Downtown Madison Businesses are Open as Construction Restarts Today

UPDATE: March 14, 2016

MADISON, CT - Despite a cool, rainy start to the day, construction on the Madison Center Project commenced early this morning, town officials said in a statement.

Retail stores and offices are open on their regular schedules while parking spaces have been reserved for construction activities on the south east portion of main street. Visitors to town are reminded that there is ample parking behind the south side of town, where both time restricted and unrestricted spaces can be found.

Business owners and employees are asked to parking restrictions: Madison’s main street, the west side of Wall Street and the parking area immediately behind RJ Julia’s and People’s Bank on the south side of main street have a two or three hour parking limit Monday – Friday and as posted. Untimed parking is available in the parking area just to the east of the Stop and Shop lot.

Phase one of the project, which started last fall includes reconstruction of the sidewalks on both sides and the center median from Wall Street and Samson Rock Drive to the gas stations (Henny Penny and Cumberland Farms). This includes running underground utilities and irrigation as well as installation of new light poles, tree grates and bike racks.
