Water Main Repair Work to Cause Traffic Delays in Central Greenwich

Work to repair an overnight water main break on Arch Street in the area of Exit 3 of I-95 will cause traffic delays on Tuesday, July 6.

Aquarion Water Co. reported the break of a 12-inch main about 1:15 a.m. Saturday, July 3. Emergency work to repair the main is being done by Aquarion’s contractor, Penna Construction. When that work is completed, steel plates will be put in place.

Repaving of the roadway will not occur until Tuesday, July 6 when asphalt plants reopen after the holiday weekend. The schedule for repaving the entire intersection has yet to be determined.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and to expect delays.

Tickets must be shown at the gate.
• Please note that Greenwich Point will be closed when parking has reached its capacity or 8:00 p.m., whichever comes first. This also means you will not be allowed to drop-off or pick-up passengers and will not be allowed to access the marina area once the Point is closed. Be sure you have everything you need before coming to the Point. The Point will still be open to walkers, joggers and bicyclists under normal regulations.

• A Police Command Post will be set-up near the main entrance gate. There will be an area for lost parents/children located at the GEMS field service unit near the South Concession Stand. GEMS will be on site for first aid coverage. They will have an ambulance on site; a command post will be located near the South Concession. Paramedics will patrol the grounds to assist the public.
