The Department of Transportation announced today that Todd Street in Bristol is scheduled to be closed from April 5^th to April 23^rd. 

Todd Street will remain open for local traffic only.  Traffic that uses Todd Street to travel from Route 72 to Pine Street should use either Emmett Street or Lincoln Avenue.

This road closure is being implemented to facilitate the relocation of the intersection of Todd and Pine Streets, which is part of the ongoing Route 72 Relocation project in Bristol and Plainville.  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.
