TOLLAND, CT — Berkshire Bank has sent a notice to Connecticut banking officials that it will be closing three branches, including one in Tolland.

The branch is located at 159 Merrow Road, also known at state Route 195.

Berkshire Bank is chartered in Massachusetts.

The other branches designated for closure are:

• 596 Hartford Pike in the Dayville section of Killingly
• 114 Woodland St. in Hartford, a branch at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center

The proposed closing date is June 28, according to the filing.

Berkshire Bank will still have plenty of branches in the state, including:

• Mansfield and Hebron in Tolland County
• Enfield, South Windsor, West Hartford, Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, Simsbury and Farmington in Hartford County
• Willimantic, Moosup, Canterbury and Brooklyn in Windham County
