MESSAGE FROM THE EAST LYME PUBLIC WORKS DEPT ABOUT THIS WEEK’S ROAD RESURFACING

The Town’s road contractor should be starting road resurfacing work this Wednesday 6/19 and it will take them probably 4 days (Wed, Thurs, Fri and Mon).

As for the roads, we will be starting in the Deans Ridge neighborhood off of Dean Rd on this Wednesday 6/19. Those roads are Alexander Dr, Jeremy Dr and Willow Lane.

Then on this Thursday 6/20, we will be looking to do Black Point Rd from the RR bridge north to Rt 156 in the morning and then Columbus Ave (from the top of Atlantic St to Rt 156), Champlin Hill Ct and Haigh Ave in the afternoon. We are planning on closing Black Point Rd to thru traffic during the morning of Thursday 6/20 so cars will detour to Columbus Ave when the road is closed to thru traffic.  Residents and those trying to go to the businesses on Black Point Rd will be able to get thru but they should expect some delays.

On Friday 6/21, we should be in the Gorton Lake Heights neighborhood. We are planning on resurfacing all of the roads in that neighborhood. Then we should be finishing up on Oakhill Dr and Acorn Dr off of Rt 161 on Monday 6/24.

There will be no on-street parking on these roads on the day of the work. During the re-surfacing, residents will be able to get in and out of their driveways but there may be delays depending upon where the road crew is at that time.  Construction schedules are always subject to change, but this message best depicts the most likely schedule at this time.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Department at 860-691-4118 or email us at publicworks@eltownhall.com.
