Unique move will cause Hartford traffic, power outages on Thursday

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Some Hartford residents will be moving house — literally.

Expect traffic disruptions and power outages this Thursday as four homes are moved from Lincoln Street in the Frog Hollow neighborhood to other locations in the city, according to police. Roads are expected to be closed for between one and four hours.

Broad Street, Ward Street, Putnam Street, Park Street, Hungerford Street and Lincoln Street will be impacted.

A map of the route is included below:

Parking will be banned for roads within the route, and some homes may lose power for one to four hours.

Work will begin at 7 a.m. on Aug. 29 and last until the homes are placed on their new foundations. If it rains, then the houses will be moved on Friday.

The homes are being moved to add more parking space to Connecticut Children’s. Retail spaces and new businesses are also expected to be developed in the area.
