11/08/24 Update: The electrical power required to operate the traffic light at the Main Street and Whitney Avenue intersection necessitates a new service installation by United Illuminating Company. The Town is collaborating with UI to expedite this installation. Once it is completed, the traffic light will be activated and set to blinking mode. We appreciate your patience during this important traffic safety improvement project.
The long-awaited traffic signalization project at the intersection of Main Street and Whitney Avenue entered its final stage on Monday, September 23, 2024. Vertical structures have been received and prepared for installation. Cranes began to operate from adjacent parking areas and Whitney Avenue during the week of September 23rd. The installation of the traffic signal and control systems is expected to take approximately 2-3 weeks.
Sidewalk installation will be ongoing from the intersection at Whitney Avenue to Dunkin Donuts for the next few weeks, followed by milling and paving along Main Street, weather permitting, during the week of October 14th.
Please be sure to anticipate delays and plan accordingly.
