The state Department of Transportation is planning a project to repair a nearly 100-year-old stone masonry wall on Route 1 (West Main Street), right before the intersection where the Baptist church is located in downtown Mystic, according to the DOT and the Town of Groton Facebook page. DOT will hold a virtual information session at 7 p.m. Thursday. The project, expected to be state funded and cost about $1.2 million, entails repairing “the deficiencies associated with the existing metal pipe rail and retaining wall.” The northbound lane will be reconstructed along the wall length, according to DOT. DOT said construction is slated to start in the fall of 2021. During the project, traffic on the northbound lane of Route 1 will be detoured through state routes.
