State funding is ready for a streetscape improvement project for downtown Plantsville that’s been in the works for well over a decade. The $4.3 million project will realign the West Main Street and Route 10 intersection slightly to improve site lines in addition to providing other safety and aesthetics upgrades for the area. Funding is coming from the state Department of Transportation. On Monday, the Town Council selected Paramount Construction LLC of Newington to do the work. The total contract amount includes a 10% contingency and 10% earmarked for incidentals. Concrete posts along the road are in the plans for the streetscape project, although they’re designed to prevent street parking rather than stop cars. The project will also make improvements to the Farmington Canal Heritage trail crossing to make it safer for pedestrians.
