Parking Ban Announced For Paving Project In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — Wallingford police have announced a temporary parking ban that will be in effect for a milling and paving project on parts of Route 150 in early May. The parking ban will be in effect specifically for the section of Center Street between North/South Elm streets and North Colony Street, and the section of Hall Avenue between North Colony Street and River Road, according to police.

Police said the temporary parking ban is a “moving order that will involve large portions of the noted sections of Route 150 at one time, but will likely not involve the entire section on any one given date.” The ban will be in effect from 6 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily and normal parking can resume each day during normal business hours, according to police.

The milling is slated to begin Sunday, May 3 and paving is expected to begin Sunday, May 10. (To sign up for Wallingford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

“This temporary parking prohibition is necessary to enable the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation and its vendors to safely operate large construction machinery within the roadway,” police wrote in a news release. “Motorists should expect delays and minor route detours. The milling operation should take approximately 4 days, and the paving operation approximately 5 days.”
