Manchester Traffic Signal Repairs May 21 To Affect Main Street Intersections

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester drivers may see delays Thursday morning as contractors working for Manchester Public Works repair traffic control signals at two Main Street intersections.

According to the traffic alert, the work is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, starting at 8 a.m. The repairs will affect the signals at Main Street and Maple Street, and Main Street and Forest Street.

The notice says contractors working for Manchester Public Works will be making repairs to the traffic control signal operating those intersections. The alert does not say how long the work is expected to last, but it advises motorists to plan for slower travel through the area.

Manchester Police Department will be on site directing traffic during the repairs, according to the alert. That traffic control is intended to help move vehicles through the intersections while signal work is underway.

Drivers traveling through downtown Manchester should expect delays and use caution when approaching the work zone. The alert does not list any detours or road closures, but motorists may want to allow extra time if their route includes Main Street near Maple Street or Forest Street.

The repair work involves two closely spaced intersections on Main Street, an area that can see steady local traffic during the morning hours. With police directing vehicles by hand while contractors work on the signals, drivers should be prepared for changing traffic patterns and possible backups.
