Construction Updates On Route 110, Broad Street Issued By Town

Via the Town of Stratford: STRATFORD, CT — Construction on the Route 110 realignment and West Broad Street projects is continuing. The town has issued the following updates:

ROUTE 110

Work is progressing on the widening of the west side of the road and the Oronoque Lane intersection. At the same time, overhead utility wire relocation will be taking place on the east side of the road.

The work will be shifting to the east side lane widening and the Sikorsky driveway alignment during the coming month.

Traffic will be constrained through the corridor during this time. The traveling public is advised to avoid the area during peak times if possible by using alternate routes.

Traffic traveling east on Oronoque Lane will also be constrained and therefore using an alternate travel route from the west to Route 110 is recommended.

This advisory is in effect through the end of this year but will be updated as construction progresses.

WEST BROAD STREET

Work is progressing on the curbing, sidewalks and drainage on Linden Avenue from Church Street to the Interstate 95 off ramp.

Work will be starting on the utility relocation work at the intersection of West Broad Street and California Street/Knowlton Street. This work will require lane closures and road closures as all the underground utilities are lowered in the intersection to accommodate the new drainage system. While work is done at the intersection, other curb and drainage work will be undertaken on West Broad Street. Work at this intersection will be continuous through the end of this construction season.

The first utility company will be Aquarion Water Co. beginning on the week of Sept 30. It is planned that California Street will be closed to through traffic beginning Oct. 4 as construction progresses from California Street across West Broad Street. The work will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. After the water company is finished it will be followed by Southern Connecticut Gas, starting the week of Oct. 14.

During the utility work at the intersection, Linden Avenue will be open to through traffic in both directions.

It is recommended that alternate routes are found to avoid this intersection, especially during peak traffic hours.

The public is reminded that local businesses are open and access to all business is being maintained.

This advisory is in effect through the summer of 2020 but will be updated as construction progresses.
