Temporary Closure of Route 79 (Durham Road) in Madison
The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that Route 79, Durham Road, will be closed to traffic between Bradley Road and Woodland Road/Old Route 79 in Madison starting Friday night November 14, 2014. The closure is expected to continue until completion of the project by November 18, 2014.

Leading up to the full roadway closure, preliminary daytime construction activities will commence on Monday November 10, 2014, to shift two lanes of traffic to one side and install temporary barriers for protection at the work zone area.
Work may be rescheduled due to inclement weather.
