On Monday, June 1, expect tree work near 840 Guptil Road, just south of the Kneeland Flats intersection. Expect delays as traffic will be reduced to one lane while this is under way. This work is weather-dependent and could be postponed if conditions are too rainy.
On Wednesday, work will be happening all day, starting at 7 a.m. in the vicinity of Waterbury Center’s Triangle Green park and Hope Davey Park where Guptil Road, Maple Street and Howard Avenue converge. Crews, including many volunteers, will be on site through the day, with road sections closed in the areas where work is taking place. Motorists are advised to be alert for the activity and changes in traffic patterns. Seek alternate routes around the area to avoid delays. Work is expected to take just one day.
