PRESS RELEASE- Paving Work at South Windsor Town Hall and Library

The South Windsor Town Hall and Library driveways, parking lots and some sidewalks are scheduled to be milled and paved the last week in October.  The contractor is planning to start work Friday, October 21st, and is planning to have the project completed by Friday, October 28th, weather permitting.  The Town Hall and Library will remain open but some parking areas and driveways will be closed each day in order to give the contractor the room they need to conduct this work. All driveways and parking areas should be open evenings, after about 6 pm. 

 

Attached is an aerial image of the project, as well as a corresponding schedule outlining what lots will be closed on each day. The Wapping Church parking lot, and the EOC parking lot can be used for overflow parking when your usual parking area is closed (as noted on image on the following page). The outlined spaces in red in the church lot will need to be left open in order for the church to have parking for their day-to-day activities. Also, due to conflicting events the church lot will not be available for us to use on Thursday, October 27th, until around 2:00 PM.

 

Please be aware that during this time the parking lot will be an active construction zone. Work has been scheduled each day to have the least amount of interference with employees and residents, however, with that being said this is still going to be disruptive. Expect uneven pavement throughout the lot, as well as an increase in truck and heavy equipment traffic. Please use extra caution when walking and driving through the lot. 

 

A brief description of the work scheduled for each day is listed below, the lot letters correspond with the attached image:

 

October 21st: Sidewalk areas will be excavated and prepped

October 24th: All driveways and lots will be milled, lots A and B will be re-opened in the morning
