New Milford, CT— Connecticut Department of
Transportation officials have announced that, weather permitting,
a portion of Route 7 in New Milford will be temporarily realigned,
beginning on Thursday, March 13, 2003. The section of road will
be just south of Dodd Road for ¾ mile ending just north of
Old State Road #2. Traffic will be laterally shifted to the west
onto temporary pavement which will allow permanent northbound Route
7 reconstruction and new Sanitary Sewer installation. Two eleven
foot wide lanes will be maintained as will all residential and commercial
driveways.
The work is part of the overall project that starts
just north of the intersection of Route 7 at Routes 202/67 (Bridge
Street) and going south to Old State Road #2, approximately 3.5
miles.
Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling
through construction zones and allow for extra travel time.
