Work Scheduled For Greenwich Avenue Corridor Improvements In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — Beginning this week, temporary bypass roads will go into effect at the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and Pulaski Street, according to the city of Stamford.

Motorists should use caution and plan for extra travel time. Access to businesses in the area will remain open.

The work is part of the Greenwich Avenue Corridor improvement project, which is the culmination of several community meetings aimed to relieve historical congestion issues in the Waterside Village neighborhood.

The project includes the construction of Stamford's first roundabout at Greenwich Avenue and Pulaski Street, significant intersection improvements at Selleck Street/Southfield Avenue and Greenwich Avenue, and a one-way circulator on Greenwich Avenue and Davenport Street.

When combined, the three components of the project will "offer significant improvements to pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular mobility," the city has said.

The cost is estimated to be $3.9 million, and it is funded by the Connecticut Department of Transportation Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program, or LOTCIP.

Construction is anticipated to end in spring/summer 2024, according to the project description.

The city broke ground on this project and the Lower Summer Street Promenade project in June.
