Hartford Marathon This Weekend To Impact West Hartford Too

Town of West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Saturday's Hartford Marathon mostly takes place in Connecticut's capital city, but the course does bring runners through the city's neighbor .. West Hartford.

As a result, West Hartford officials are warning residents and travelers about some traffic impacts expected on Saturday, Oct. 11.

A portion of the route passes through West Hartford and will cause temporary road closures.

The following roads will be closed to traffic from 8 to 9:30 a.m.

• Fern Street (Prospect Avenue to Penn Drive)
• Penn Drive
• Asylum Avenue (Penn Drive to Prospect Avenue)
• Elizabeth Park Road
• Prospect Ave (Fern Street to Asylum Avenue)

As soon as roads are clear of runners, some roads will open earlier than 9:30 a.m. (i.e., Fern Street).

Adjacent roads will also be affected.

"Please expect delays and detours. When possible, police will direct cross-traffic during the race," wrote the town on Thursday.
