Closure of Bohemia Street in Plainville At Wilson Street Scheduled For Friday, October 9, 2009
The Department of Transportation announced today that Bohemia Street in Plainville is scheduled to be closed between Wilson Street and Forestville Avenue on October 9th.
Bohemia Street will remain open to local traffic only.  Traffic that formerly used Bohemia Street to access the Route 72 expressway should travel east on West Main Street and turn left onto Forestville Avenue to access the expressway.
This permanent road closure is being implemented concurrently with the relocation of the Route 72 Expressway approximately 100 feet to the north, into its permanent alignment with relocated Route 72.  This work is part of the ongoing Route 72 Relocation project in Bristol and Plainville.  
This $40 million project is being performed by Manafort Brothers, Inc. of Plainville, Connecticut under contract with the Department of Transportation.  The anticipated completion date for this project is in November 2010.
