Partial Road Closure Announced In West Hartford: UPDATE

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The partial road closure on Park Road in West Hartford that was expected to begin this week is being delayed until early next week, according to officials. The focus for this week is gearing up for the detour, officials said on Tuesday. Read the Park Road at I-84 construction update from Town Hall below:

The reconstruction of the Park Road and the I-84 interchange is progressing well. Thus far traffic impacts on Park Road have been temporary and the roadway has been fully re-opened to traffic at the end of each work day. Unfortunately, the contractor has reached a point which will require a permanent partial closure on Park Road. The partial road closure/detour is expected to be in place starting the week of Aug. 13th and will remain in place for several weeks.

Park Road will be closed to one lane in each direction between Raymond Road and the I-84 Exit 43 Off-Ramp. Traffic traveling east on Park Road would still be able to access the I-84 on-ramp to proceed east or west. Park Road westbound traffic, wishing to access I-84 will be detoured to the Main Street (Interchange 41) ramps. Trout Brook Drive (Interchange 42) is the recommended alternate to access I-84 East. Motorists should expect delays and are advised to avoid the project area and seek alternate routes when possible.
