West Hartford Roads Getting Pavement Facelift

TOWN OF WEST HARTFORD

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Patience will definitely be a virtue on West Hartford roads after the long holiday weekend, with the town announcing a round of road resurfacing starting Wednesday.

The roads scheduled for repaving include Berkshire Road, Braeburn Road, Geneva Avenue (Reservoir Ave to Everett Avenue), Gin Still Lane, Reservoir Avenue and Wettleson Avenue.

"We anticipate about five days of milling and two to three weeks to complete the paving," wrote the town in an announcement.

A signed detour will be in place for Berkshire Road.

Town officials said traffic flaggers will help direct motorists and pedestrians around the work zone.

"Motorists are reminded to use caution while traveling on the milled surface and be alert for raised manhole structures," wrote the town. "Please seek alternate routes and avoid the area if possible."

Meanwhile, the town said the MDC will complete the restoration of Newington Road (Route 173) following their water main replacement project.

Milling and paving are scheduled from Sunday evening, July 9, through Wednesday, July 12 (weather depending).

Due to the unusually high traffic volume in the project area, the state Department of Transportation requires this work to be performed overnight from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

"Please seek alternate routes and avoid the area if possible," wrote the town.
