The Town is in the process of revitalizing the aging infrastructure in West Hartford Center through a comprehensive reconstruction of LaSalle Road from Farmington Avenue to Ellsworth Road and Farmington Avenue from North/South Main Street to Walden Street.  The work include roadway resurfacing, new granite curbing, widened concrete sidewalks, decorative street lighting, traffic signal modifications, landscaping with engineered tree pits, raised crosswalks, and site furniture/amenities.  The project is expected to take two construction seasons with anticipated completion by November 20, 2026.
