COUNTRY CLUB ROAD BRIDGE PROJECT.
Country Club Road Bridge, spanning Honeypot Brook, will be closed for repair beginning on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 7:00 A.M. The bridge is located on Country Club Road, between Round Hill Road and Wolf Hill Road. It will be closed to vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. The Town of Cheshire anticipates that, at the latest, the bridge will re-open by Friday, December 17, 2010.
The planned work involves the demolition and complete replacement of the existing bridge and reconstruction of approximately 300 feet of Country Club Road. The project will also include sidewalks and drainage work and will require a water main and other utility relocations.
Signs are being put in place to indicate bridge closure and to establish detour routes. The span of Country Club Road from Wolf Hill Rod will be restricted to homeowners residing on Country Club Road and this portion of the road will not be open to through traffic. Northbound traffic on Country Club Road and southbound traffic on Wolf Hill Road will be prohibited from turning east onto Country Club Road at the Wolf Hill Road intersection. To assist you in traveling around this bridge closure, it is advised that Creamery Road be utilized as the main route from Route 10 and alternatively, that Academy Road to Wiese Road be used as a method to reach the southern portions of Country Club Road.
Should you have any questions or concerns about the bridge closure, please contact the Cheshire Public Works Department at Town Hall @ 203-271-6650.
