Southbound Rte 10 traffic may worsen next week

In case you were unaware, the ConnDOT has a pretty useful traffic update email distribution list. You can sign up here. I mention this because of the update I got today:

Daytime Blasting Operation Scheduled to Start on November 24, at the Intersection of Route 10 and Westwoods Road in Hamden

The Connecticut Department of Transportation is announcing that traffic will be halted for up to ten minute intervals along Route 10 and Westwoods Road to allow for a blasting operation to remove rock in the construction area.

I know it's been bad lately and I've been going over Bethany Mountain to get to the Merritt. But it sounds like the south bound morning commute out of Cheshire may get even worse next week.
