Waterbury, CT Four days after our initial advisory on scheduled paving and streetscape work along Bank Street, and just a few hours after our follow-up reminder, noticeable progress is already unfolding in Downtown Waterbury.

Waterbury’s Bank Street Reopens to Traffic as Sidewalk and Streetscape Work Continues

Bank Street Paving Begins Today: What Waterbury Drivers Need to Know

Today, The Waterbury Times captured new images highlighting the current stage of the project — including surface cuts, machine prep, work-zone reshaping, and early restoration of roadway sections.

This type of multi-day coverage builds an important digital footprint for downtown infrastructure improvements, creating a permanent record residents can reference as the project moves forward.

What’s New Today

• Active paving and prep equipment on-site
• Roadway surface cleared and leveled
• Crews expanding restoration zone
• Traffic management setups in place
• Early visual markers of shaping for new pavement layers
• Active road work in progress

Why This Matters

Bank Street is a central corridor, and its improvement is a major component of Waterbury’s broader streetscape upgrades. Documenting the process — from advisory → active work → visual progress — strengthens public transparency and provides a historical digital record of city investment
