Hartford's West End braces for traffic disruptions from $315 million Eversource project. Published: Apr. 21, 2026 at 1:26 PM PDT | Updated: 4 hours ago HARTFORD, Conn. (WFSB) - Hartford's West End is bracing for a summer of road closures, detours and lane closures as part of a $315 million underground project to upgrade the city's electric grid. The bulk of the work in the neighborhood starts May 4 and will last two to three months. Eversource is replacing 52-year-old transmission lines with more advanced cables to boost the electric grid. The work is mostly underground. Drivers will see road closed signs, detours and lane closures. Construction and noise will detour drivers from popular thoroughfares to quiet neighborhood streets. Janet Morrison has lived in the West End for nine years. She said the project is necessary but will be inconvenient. "At rush hour you'll see more traffic through the neighborhood on what are normally quieter streets due to the detours that have been set up," Morrison said. Morrison said drivers often ignore stop signs when detoured through the neighborhood. "The bad thing about that is a lot of people don't pay attention to the stop signs when they're in the neighborhood and they just go through fast, so that part is disconcerting," she said. The project will reach an already congested stretch of Asylum Avenue at Scarborough and Whitney streets. An Eversource spokesperson said the project "will enhance the safety and reliability of the electric system and increase its capacity to meet current and future energy demand in the Hartford area." Eversource is replacing nearly seven miles of transmission lines. The company said it has been in talks with residents since 2023 to minimize the impact to the neighborhood. The massive underground project began last April and is expected to end in the middle of 2027.
