Road Work | Oct. 9-13

October 7, 2023 | By Waterbury Roundabout 

Monday is a holiday with work on most road and sidewalk projects halted for the day.

In Waterbury, Public Works Director Bill Woodruff on Friday said that work will be ongoing, however, on the water line on Blush Hill in the vicinity of the Ashford Lane neighborhood.

Elsewhere in town, sidewalk construction is completed for the year. On Randall Street, some driveway aprons still need pavement, Woodruff said.

If weather permits, stop bars and fog lines will be painted on Howard Avenue. Crews also will be working on shoulder maintenance around town, he said. And a final inspection is planned on Main Street, he added, marking the completion of that major reconstruction effort.
