Avon Avenue Construction Project Begins: Expect Major Traffic Delays Through Early November

AVON — A major road improvement project has officially started along Avon Avenue as part of the CCMG paving program, bringing with it lane restrictions and traffic delays expected to last through early November.

    Crews began work on Monday, October 6th, and the project will be completed in three phases to keep traffic moving while construction takes place. Despite efforts to minimize disruption, drivers in the area should expect congestion and slower travel times, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

Phase Breakdown

Phase 1 (October 6–23, 2025):
Southbound traffic from Rockville Road is limited to the inside lane as crews focus on widening the west side of Avon Avenue. This phase includes excavation, paving, and new sidewalk installation. A traffic shift is planned around October 23rd.

Phase 2 (October 24–30, 2025):
Once the west side is complete, traffic will move to the newly paved section while crews construct a new concrete center island down the middle of the roadway.

Phase 3 (October 31–November 4, 2025):
The final phase will include milling, resurfacing, and finishing work to wrap up the project.

What Drivers Should Know

    City officials note that all timelines are tentative and may shift based on weather or construction progress. Motorists should expect lane reductions and periodic delays throughout the month.

    Many local drivers have expressed frustration over the timing and scale of the project, especially given the already heavy traffic along Avon Avenue during peak hours.
