The Connecticut Department of Transportation has announced that beginning on Thursday, July 12th, milling and paving will be conducted on Route 85 in Salem from the Shady Brook Picnic Area to Skyline Drive.
The purpose of this project is to improve overall safety and operation of Route 85. The road has already been widened to improve sightlines and provide for left-turn bypass at commercial entrances. Additional drainage was also installed to alleviate flooding.
Work will be conducted between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Traffic will be maintained utilizing alternating one-way traffic during these allowable time frames.
Please obey the posted speed limit and use caution through this and all other construction work zones. Thank you!
