Project To Begin On Busy Vernon Road

VERNON, CT — A road well-traveled in Vernon is scheduled for a major overhaul beginning next week.

Road work on Skinner Road is scheduled to start on Monday, Department of Public Works officials said.

The project includes "reclaiming" and paving and the work should take three-to-four weeks to complete, weather permitting, according to DPW officials.

Some side streets along the Skinner Road corridor are also being paved.

Road work will also continue on Lake Street (from Phoenix Street to Tunnel Road) on Saturday, officials said.

Signs will be posted in the work areas and motorists are being encouraged to use alternate routes, when possible. Access will be maintained to all residential buildings, officials said.

Residents and motorists are being encouraged to "plan for delays due to construction," officials said.
