Construction Slated For Old Greenwich Monday: See Where

Information via Greenwich Department of Public Works

GREENWICH, CT — Construction projects are slated for Monday, Sept. 19, in Old Greenwich.

The Sound Beach Avenue Bridge in Old Greenwich will be closed Monday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. due to bridge culvert installation work.

Vehicles will be detoured to Harding Road and Forest Avenue. Motorists should give themselves extra time when traveling, follow posted detour signage, and obey police directions.

This work is part of a crucial project to replace a deteriorating bridge used by approximately 14,500 vehicles daily. For more information and to view the detour route, click here.

Additionally, final trench restoration work for the Old Greenwich Common Force Main Replacement Project will begin Monday, which can impact traffic with temporary road closures and detours.

Comprised of six work zones, the project will start in Work Zone 6 (the traffic circle where Arch Street, West End Avenue, and Summit Road meet) on Sept. 19, and a second crew will begin working in Work Zone 1 (Oval Avenue near the Riverside train station) on Sept. 20.

Work is scheduled to occur between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Depending on weather and unforeseen conditions, this work is anticipated to take approximately four weeks to complete.

Note that due to work being performed by Aquarion Water Company and Connecticut Natural Gas within the limits of this project, final curb-to-curb paving will not occur until some time in 2023 after all utility work is finished.
