Adding to the list of detours in Downtown: Atheneum Square North, the one block street between Main and Prospect Street.
This will be closed to motorized traffic beginning April 13th. It is not expected to reopen until late 2016.
Some foot traffic will be allowed through 2015 for those accessing from Prospect. The Wadsworth Atheneum expects to have a ramp installed at its Main Street entrance by June so that the museum remains accessible.
The reason for the closure is the work that Travelers will be doing on its plaza and parking garage.
