Strong Road Work Has Restarted

The following is a release from the town:

The Town’s new contractor, Gerber Construction, has restarted the work on the Strong Road Reconstruction project.

This work, to be done in two phases, will include full-depth reconstruction of the roadway with new drainage from Route 5 to east of Tomel Drive and includes lawn restoration, and reconstruction of driveways. It is anticipated that the work will be completed by this fall.   

The current work in progress is the Phase 1 drainage from Nutmeg Rd North to east of Tomel Drive. Phase 1 is scheduled to be complete by early summer.   
During construction, the portion of Strong Road where work is in progress will be temporarily reduced to one lane of traffic.

There will be extended periods when a section of the road is gravel and has no pavement, or roughened pavement. Motorists are advised to drive slowly and use caution on these roads during construction. 

Motorists are also advised to seek alternate routes to avoid the work site during construction activities. Access will be maintained to all properties along the road during construction.

If you have any questions regarding this project, please call the Engineering Division at (860) 644-2511, ext. 257
