As part of the Greenwich Substation and Line Project, Eversource will begin installing a utility/pedestrian bridge over Davis Mill Pond which will carry a new 115-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line, an 8-inch water main, a temporary 4-inch gas main and pedestrians enjoying Bruce Park. This work is part of the underground portion of the project, which also includes installing a transmission line beneath approximately two miles of local streets connecting a new substation on Railroad Avenue to Eversource’s existing Cos Cob Substation.
A road closure and associated detour will be necessary to safely complete this work and guide traffic around the construction site. A detour will be posted directing vehicles to utilize I-95 between Exits 3 and 4 to bypass this area. Access to local roadways and driveways will be maintained on each side of Indian Harbor. Pedestrian traffic will be prohibited during construction.
The project is scheduled to take place between Friday, June 12 and Sunday, June 21 (schedule subject to change).
Greenwich Police and traffic control signs will be deployed in Bruce Park to help manage the flow of traffic.
