Whiting Street Reconstruction Project

PLAINVILLE, CONNECTICUT – The Town of Plainville is proposing to reconstruct the pavement on Whiting Street from Broad Street to Fairview Avenue.  The project is in the semi-final design stage.     Construction funds for this project will be provided by the Connecticut Department of Transportation under the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program.

It is the Town’s and State’s policy to keep the public informed and involved when such projects are undertaken.  It is important that the community shares its concerns and comments to assist in the project’s development.

The Town of Plainville is proposing to mill the existing pavement surface to a depth of approximately five (5) inches on certain sections of Whiting Street  and excavate to a depth of seventeen inches in other sections Whiting Street from Broad Street to Fairview Avenue and install approximately 2,000 linear feet of new bituminous concrete pavement.  Other proposed construction activities include minor drainage improvements, construction of pedestrian ramps and applicable ADA improvements, driveway and curb repairs and installation of new pavement markings.

A preliminary assessment of the construction costs indicate the project costs will be approximately $2,725,000.00.  It is anticipated that the State of Connecticut will provide 100% of the construction funding through the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program, (LOTCIP).  The Town of Plainville anticipates the construction of this project will be initiated during the fall of 2023 or spring 2024.  The duration of the project is expected to take one hundred and twenty, (120) days.
