GREENWICH, CT — A portion of Greenwich Avenue has been reduced to one lane after roadwork caused the roadway to sag Thursday morning, the Greenwich Police Department said.
A partial road closure is in place in the area of 254 Greenwich Ave., police announced Thursday morning. No injuries were reported.
The Greenwich Department of Public Works Highway Division said the roadway sagging is due to a "material trench failure" from Aquarion Water Company's project on the Avenue, DPW spokeswoman Renee Wallace told Patch.
