The State of Connecticut Department of Transportation has begun the process of replacing the Rowley Street Bridge near the intersection of South Main Street. This is the bridge that carries traffic over the Mad River, near the Town's ball fields. Up until May 23rd, partial lane closures should be expected in that area between the working hours of 9AM and 3PM. Beginnning May 23rd, complete lane closures should be expected until the project's anticipated end date of September 11th.
Please note the suggested detour, provided by the DOT to avoid the construction zone, is to head down Route 8 (southbound), get off at Pinewoods Road exit, take a right, and then another right at the traffic light to access Rowley Street via Torrington Road.
