Demolition Prompts Traffic Detours at Bradley Airport

The demolition of Bradley International Airport's old Terminal B is set to begin early next month, and airport officials are alerting drivers of road closures and new traffic patterns that will take effect.

Crews will start knocking down the old terminal Dec. 3, according to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

As a result, the upper-level departures road will be permanently closed to traffic just beyond Terminal A and the Sheraton Hotel. All traffic will be diverted from the upper roadway to the lower roadway.

The far right lane of the lower-level arrivals roadway will also be closed just past Terminal A. Traffic will be shifted to the left lanes.

The entire upper roadway will be closed overnight from Dec. 8-11 between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m., according to the Airport Authority.

Construction signage will mark all closures and detours.

Drivers are asked to slow down and be careful while traveling through the airport area. Officials with the Connecticut Airport Authority said they expect only minor traffic delays.

More information on the demolition and traffic changes is available on the Bradley Airport website.
