COLCHESTER — Drivers on New London Road will need to detour around the Route 2 overpasses during overnight bridge demolition the week of November 16.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation lists the work for Monday, November 16, through Friday, November 20, with Route 85 closed under Route 2 from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Signs and police will direct traffic. Outside the overnight closures, drivers on Route 85 will take turns using a single lane.
Route 2 will keep one lane open in each direction during the work. CTDOT says weather or other delays could change the schedule. The work is part of the replacement of both Route 2 bridges at the crossing.
