The area around Broad Street and Capitol Avenue has always been congested around rush hour. This has steadily gotten worse with the closure of Flower Street to motorized traffic, then more so with the construction on the Broad Street bridge which has been narrowed in recent months.

It’s about to get worse.

On Monday, May 13th, the MDC is starting water main work on Broad Street, with initial work being done at the intersections with both Capitol Avenue and Farmington Avenue. Work is scheduled between 8am-4pm. Delays are expected.
