Ledgelawn Avenue Traffic Detour to End

The Main Street Sewer, Water and Stormwater Improvement project reached a significant milestone on August 1 with the completion of the water main installation below Cromwell Harbor Bridge. As such, the remaining work will be in and alongside the east and west shoulders of Main Street, allowing for alternating one-way traffic to flow through the construction site, effective August 1. The remainder of the work this year entails installation of stormwater, curb and sidewalk, streetscape, placing binder pavement, and loam and seed.

The project team believes the remaining work can now be done safely and effectively without the assistance of the Ledgelawn Avenue traffic detour. All signage associated with the Ledgelawn Avenue detour will be removed on Friday, August 2, 2024. While we are able to remove the detour at this time, some remaining work will result in additional temporary impacts for access to some side streets.

Due to the Ledgelawn Avenue detour, this project progressed quickly while maintaining quality work and producing a high quality end product that should last for many generations to come. This result is directly attributed to the patience and cooperation of the residents, businesses, property owners and visitors alike.

Thank you all.
