Reconstruction of Avery Street - Phase 3

South Windsor – The next phase of the reconstruction of Avery Street will begin starting Monday, August 27th. The Town is improving the portion of Avery Street from Orchard Hill Drive to the Manchester town line with new drainage structures, full depth reconstruction of the roadway with curbs, and concrete sidewalks. In addition, new concrete sidewalks are being extended from the town line to the Walgreens driveway in Manchester. It is anticipated that the entire project will be completed by the end of November with the exception of lawn establishment, which may be completed the following spring.          

During the day, the southbound lane of Avery Street will be closed to thru traffic between Orchard Hill Drive and Oakland Road while the contractor is performing his work. An alternate route has been established to direct southbound traffic around the temporary closure from Orchard Hill Drive to Foster Street to Oakland Road. Access to abutting properties will be maintained but thru traffic must use the established detour route. Appropriate detour signs will be in place to direct motorists through the detour route. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes during this construction phase of Avery Street if at all possible.

Normal working hours for the contractor will be from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If you have any questions regarding this project, please call the Engineering Division at (860) 644-2511, ext. 344.
