Reconstruction of Scott Road, Phase 1, in the Town of Prospect and the City of Waterbury to Close a Portion of Scott Road in the Town of Prospect on Thursday May 7, 2009

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that the closure of a portion of Scott Road in the Town of Prospect is scheduled to begin on Thursday May 7, 2009.

Stage 2 construction activities require the closure of a portion of Scott Road adjacent to the Austin Road intersection in the Town of Prospect. Detour signage will be placed in advance to alert motorists of the closure. The detour will route motorists on Village Wood Drive, Boxwood Court, and Austin Road in the City of Waterbury. The “new” portion of Austin Road has been constructed and will facilitate the handling of traffic during the detour. The Detour will be in effect 24 hours a day for a maximum duration of 2 months.

The contract was awarded to NJR Construction of Harwinton, CT on November 17, 2008 at a cost of $636,761.55 and is scheduled to be completed in October 2009.
