Traffic Advisory Issued For Construction Project In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — Officials are advising motorists of potential road closures that will be in effect during the reconstruction of West Broad Street between I-95 and California Street in Stratford.

The town’s contractor for the project will be working to complete the reconstruction this spring, according to an update from Town Engineer John Casey.

The effort will begin with the removal of the asphalt surface from I-95 to California Street starting on April 5 and being completed by the end of the week, according to Casey.

“The contractor will also be performing installation and re-grading of the road sub-base following the removal of pavement,” Casey wrote in a news release. “Access through the corridor will be maintained for local traffic but will be periodically closed to through traffic, especially from the Railroad to California St. The contractor will ramp up to each driveway so that it is accessible during the reconstruction.”

The installation of paving is tentatively scheduled to begin approximately April 29.

“It is recommended that alternate routes be utilized to avoid this intersection, especially during peak traffic hours,” Casey wrote. “The public is reminded that local businesses are open and access to all business is being maintained.”
