(07/26/23 Update) The Connecticut DOT Traffic Signal Division and District #3 has inspected the signal operations and site today. The new signal is fully operational. The flashing lights from the old trail crossing are being removed and DPW has been asked to remove the “Trail Closed” signs. The new trail path leads to the crosswalk at the new light for safe passage to the trail on the other side of Route 111. To ensure your safety, use the crosswalk at the light to get to the trail. Thank you for your patience.
