City of New Haven Announces Crown Street Closure

From the City of New Haven:

New Haven, CT - To accommodate the re-construction of the Crown Street Bridge, Crown Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Church Street and Temple Street from June 18, 2016 through August 7, 2016. Vehicles will be detoured to Chapel Street and back to Temple Street (see the diagram below).

Pedestrian through traffic will be maintained on Crown Street throughout the duration of the project.

The superstructure of the Crown Street Bridge will be replaced during the detour period utilizing Accelerated Bridge Construction methods. Precast Concrete / Steel Composite Deck Units are being fabricated off site and will be trucked to the site and set in place immediately following removal of the existing superstructure. This work will be performed in two phases to allow for the relocation of existing underground utilities.

During Phase 1 pedestrian through traffic will be maintained on the South sidewalk (adjacent to Gateway College).

Access will be maintained to the North sidewalk at all points with the exception of the Cask Republic restaurant, which will be accessed through the lobby of the Omni Hotel. During Phase 2 pedestrian through traffic will be maintained on the North sidewalk.

See the attached graphic for detour details.
