Reconstruction of Lake Street (SR 533) in the Town of Bolton

      The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that the reconstruction of Lake Street (State Route 533) in the vicinity of Box Mountain Road and Goodwin Road is scheduled to begin Monday, October 19, 2015, in the Town of Bolton.

      The project involves the realignment of the curves on Lake Street to improve sight distances from the intersection of Box Mountain Road. The street will be completely reconstructed and there will also be drainage improvements made along both roads.
