*Construction Notice-Hunting Lodge Road Detour*
*11/10/14 thru 11/26/14*
To the University and Local Community,
As part of the ongoing effort to improve the aging utilities infrastructure and provide valuable services to the Storrs Campus and the local community, the University of Connecticut Storrs has undertaken a Capital Construction project to replace almost 13,000 feet of existing 16” water main piping that connects the Willimantic River Water Treatment Facility with the Storrs Campus. In doing so, the construction will effect traffic along the Northern end of Hunting Lodge Road (Route 44 end) for a period of three weeks.
Start Monday November 10, 2014
Completed Wednesday November 26, 2014
Closed between the hours of 7:00am and 4:30pm (Monday thru Friday)
At this time the roadway will be closed to allow the new water pipe to be installed within the roadway. During working hours, access through Hunting Lodge Road will be limited to only Emergency vehicles, Town of Mansfield school buses and local residence which driveways are in the work area. All other vehicles are requested to seek alternate routes to help reduce congestion.
The installation of notification signs and detour signs will placed along the local routes to make motorists aware of the activities in advance of the start date and during the period of construction.
