*Construction Notice-Hunting Lodge Road Detour*
*Tuesday 6/23/15 until Friday 7/10/15 *
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 Tuesday June 23, 2015 @ 7:00am
Completed and re-opened Friday July 10, 2015 @ 5:00pm
Closed between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm (Monday thru Friday)
At this time the roadway will be closed to allow the last piece of new water pipe to be installed along the edge of the road and for the restoration and paving of the roadway. During working hours, access through Hunting Lodge Road will be limited to only Emergency vehicles 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 be placed along the local routes to make motorists aware of the activities in advance of the start date and during the period of construction.
Signs will be placed along the route to assist with the detour. Motorists are requested to utilize Bone Mill Road as an alternate route.
The University of Connecticut Department of Parking and Transportation Services will be altering their “Purple Line” bus route to accommodate for the road closer. Please visit their web site at http://transpo.uconn.edu/ for details.
We apologize in advance for any inconveniences this may cause and thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
