Partial road closure on Coolidge Highway

GUILFORD — GUILFORD - Drivers and bicyclists using the Coolidge Highway should plan extra travel time beginning this week.

In preparation for the Broad Brook bridge replacement, Route 5 in Algiers will have one-way alternating traffic during daylight hours, said Agency of Transportation Public Information Officer Jill Barrett.

This traffic pattern will last until the July 10 bridge closure.

Work crews will install piles for the bridge abutment and perform miscellaneous roadway construction.

Barrett cautioned motorists to watch for flaggers who will assist trucks driving in and out of the bridge construction site.
