Closure of Bohemia Street in Plainville at Wilson Street Scheduled For Friday, November 6, 2009

The Department of Transportation announced today that Bohemia Street in Plainville is scheduled to be closed between Wilson Street and Forestville Avenue on November 6, 2009.

Bohemia Street will remain open to local traffic only. Traffic that formerly used Bohemia Street to access Route 72 should travel east on West Main Street and turn left onto Forestville Avenue and onto Route 72.

The permanent closure is necessary for the completion of the relocation of the Route 72 Expressway.

This $40 million project is being performed by Manafort Brothers, Inc. of Plainville, Connecticut under contract with the Department of Transportation. The anticipated completion date for this project is in November 2010.
