Motorists wishing to turn from Dog Lane to travel south on Storrs Road (Route 195) will instead turn onto Royce Circle behind the Storrs Center parking garage and follow the newly constructed Wilbur Cross Way to Charles Smith Way (formerly referred to as “Post Office Road”). Vehicles will not be able to turn left onto Storrs Road from Dog Lane.
Northbound traffic turning right from Dog Lane onto Storrs Road will be unaffected by this change.
This traffic pattern will remain in effect while construction continues on Bolton Road Extension and Royce Circle.
Once complete, the intersection of Bolton Road Extension, Storrs Road, and Bolton Road will serve as the main, lighted intersection for Storrs Center. The new roads will complete the boundaries of the Town Square and will accommodate all traffic heading north and south on Storrs Road. Work is expected to be completed by the fall.
Southbound traffic will follow Royce Circle from Dog Lane to Charles Smith Way. |
