You'll get to read more about this soon in the Register but in the meantime, here's a press release from the office of Hamden Mayor Scott D. Jackson:

Temporary Closing of a Portion of Hamden's Farmington Canal Greenway –

Construction of Hamden's Farmington Canal Skiff Street underpass will begin on

and continue through October 4, 2011

Farmington Canal Greenway between Connolly Parkway and the Dixwell Avenue Greenway

entrance south of the Hamden Middle School will be closed to the public. Trail users will be

temporarily diverted to Skiff Street. “Detour” and “Caution” signage will be posted in appropriate

locations.

The project will eliminate the need to use the existing Skiff Street crosswalk, with the construction

of a well-lit, 110 foot underpass. Safety measures include security cameras and emergency call

boxes.

Any questions or concerns during the project should be directed to Dan Kops in the Town of

Hamden Planning and Zoning Department at 203-281-7070.
